Diacomit is a prescription medication use with other medications to treat seizures caused by Dravet syndrome, a form of epilepsy, in people 2 years or older. Diacomit belongs to a group of drugs called anticonvulsants. These work by slowing down the actions of nerve cells during a seizure and prevent the brain from spreading the seizure.

The medication comes in capsule form and also as a powder for suspension. Diacomit capsules are swallowed whole 2 or 3 times a day, with a full glass of water during a meal. Powder for suspension can be mixed in a glass of water and taken immediately after mixing during a meal. 

Common side effects of Diacomit include sleepiness and drowsiness, decreased appetite, agitation, and weight loss. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Diacomit affects you.
