Sultiame, or sulthiame, sold under the brand name Ospolot among others, is a sulfonamide and inhibitor of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase which is used as an anticonvulsant in the treatment of epilepsy. In addition to its use as an antiepileptic medication, recent studies showed promise in reducing sleep disordered breathing and other symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
