She continued on zonisamide throughout her pregnancy. The zonisamide concentrations ranged between 7.5 \u03bcg\/mL and 17 \u03bcg\/mL during pregnancy, with the exception of a 4.4-\u03bcg\/mL concentration at 27 weeks postconception. Following this lower concentration, the zonisamide dose was increased to 300 mg\/day at week 29. She had an uneventful pregnancy, with only occasional myoclonic jerks, and delivered at 41 weeks. At 42 weeks, white taking zonisamide 300 mg\/day, her concentration was 20.8 \u03bcg\/mL<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A single report from Japan reviewed 26 cases of prenatal exposure to zonisamide. Twenty-two offspring were exposed to zonisamide monotherapy; 4 were exposed to polytherapy. During the first trimester, 2 pregnant women on zonisamide and at least one other antiepileptic medication had serum concentrations of 6.1 \u03bcg\/mL and 6.2 \u03bcg\/mL; 2 of the Infants had teratogenic effects. Teratogenicity has also been reported in animals.
