The Western journal of medicine, 161(3), 309-314 (1994-09-01)
For the first time in 15 years, new antiepileptic medications are available for the treatment of patients with seizure disorders. These drugs have demonstrated efficacy in animal models of epilepsy and in controlled clinical trials. Felbamate was licensed in 1993
John M Pellock et al.
Epilepsy research, 71(2-3), 89-101 (2006-08-08)
An expert panel convened to evaluate data and review current clinical practices regarding the novel antiepileptic drug (AED) felbamate. Felbamate has demonstrated efficacy against a variety of refractory seizures types, including seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, but postmarketing experience revealed
Angelique M Leone et al.
Chemical research in toxicology, 20(4), 600-608 (2007-03-27)
Felbamate is an antiepileptic drug that is associated with minimal toxicity in preclinical species such as rat and dog but has an unacceptable incidence of serious idiosyncratic reactions in man. Idiosyncratic reactions account for over half of toxicity-related drug failures

The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 289(2), 886-894 (1999-04-24)
Felbamate is an anticonvulsant used in the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and complex partial seizures that are refractory to other medications. Its unique clinical profile is thought to be due to an interaction with N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors
