Etymology

Emeside is a brand name for the drug ethosuximide, which is used to treat 'absence' seizures. A helpful way to remember it is that Emeside is a short form of ethosuximide and the name sounds like it could 'ease' seizures, so the name links directly to its use in controlling those small attacks.
