The exact mechanism for antiepileptic activity is not known but it is presumed that Amendo works by preventing the release of chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) in the brain by binding to specific proteins (synaptic vesicle protein). It indirectly helps in increasing the activity of inhibitory neurotransmitter (GABA) which prevents the abnormal activity in the brain. In this way Amendo prevents from the seizures.
