Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test performed at screening and at the time of check-in of first period. 3. Patients who are receiving Felbamate Suspension daily (Dose: 1800 mg/day in three divided doses [5 mL TDS]) in stable dose as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy since at least 14 days prior to randomization 4. Patients with Body Mass Index (BMI) >=18 but 5. Willing to provide informed consent to participate in this study 6. Able to comply with protocol requirements and assessments

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. History of hypersensitivity to Felbamate or any component of the formulation. 2. Patients with history of any psychiatric illness, depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior. 3. Two-fold increase in the highest, 2-day pre-study seizure frequency during stabilization period. 4. Single generalized, tonic-clonic seizure during stabilization period, if none occurred during past 2 months. 5. Significant prolongation of generalized, tonic-clonic seizures during stabilization period. 6. History of any clinical condition which may affect the absorption and metabolism of the drug e.g. ulcerative colitis or gastrointestinal disease. 7. Major surgery of the gastrointestinal tract, the liver or kidney 6 months prior to randomization which may affect the pharmacokinetics of Felbamate 8. Abnormal hematologic function defined as â?? Absolute Neutrophil Count Platelet count Hemoglobin 9. Impaired hepatic function (serum bilirubin, transaminases or alkaline phosphatase >= 2 times the upper limit of normal). 10. Moderate or severe renal disease. 11. Patients with a history of any blood dyscrasia. 12. Patients who are immunodeficient or have a history of immunodeficiency. 13. Consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit-like or grapefruit containing products within 7 days of drug administration. 14. Ingestion of any alcoholic, caffeine or xanthine containing food or beverage within 48 hours prior to the initial dose of study medication. 15. Use of enzyme-modifying drugs within 30 days prior to receiving the first dose of study medication (listed in Appendix-II). They can be allowed depending on Principal Investigatorâ??s discretion in consultation with Medical monitor, if they are kept constant in the last 30 days and are expected to remain constant during the study period. 16.

History of any significant cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, neurologic, endocrine dysfunction, inflammatory bowel disease or any other condition which in the opinion of the investigator, may put the patient at risk because of participation in the study
