description Highlights • Rufinamide is an effective treatment option for Lennox–Gastaut syndrome. • Low starting doses and slow titration may improve rufinamide tolerability. • Clinical experience supports starting rufinamide at a dose of 5–10 mg/kg/day. • Real-world data show the dose can be escalated to 15–20 mg/kg/day after 1–3 days. • The authors recommend not increasing rufinamide dose if no response is noted.
