Each row is one product from one pharmacy, shown in the pack size with the lowest price per unit; its other pack sizes are listed under “other pack sizes”. Price per unit = the pack price divided by the units in the pack, before shipping; we sort by it and don't assume how long a pack lasts. Total with shipping = the pack price plus the pharmacy's shipping fee for one order. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars (converted when a pharmacy prices in Canadian dollars). The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

What is Banzel used for?
Banzel is a seizure medicine (an anticonvulsant). According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- Together with other seizure medicines, to treat seizures caused by Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) in adults and children 1 year and older.
The label says Banzel is taken with food, split into two doses a day. Adults start at 400 to 800 mg a day and increase every other day up to 3,200 mg a day; children's doses start at about 10 mg per kg of body weight a day, up to 45 mg per kg (no more than 3,200 mg). Tablets can be swallowed whole, split in half or crushed. It isn't for people with familial short QT syndrome. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Banzel from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Banzel, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic rufinamide before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Eisai sells Banzel 100, 200 and 400 mg tablets, listed as marketed (Health Canada, checked 2026-11-12). In Europe and the U.K., Eisai sells rufinamide as Inovelon (European Medicines Agency).
