Product Introduction
Brivaracetam 100mg is an antiseizure medicine for focal-onset seizures, used alone or with other epilepsy medicines in an appropriate treatment regimen. It is a maintenance treatment rather than a medicine for immediately stopping a prolonged seizure.
How to use
Swallow the tablet with liquid, with or without food. Brivaracetam is generally taken in two evenly spaced daily doses. Avoid abrupt discontinuation because seizure frequency can increase.
How it works
Brivaracetam binds to synaptic vesicle protein 2A in the brain. This modifies neurotransmitter release and helps reduce abnormal electrical activity associated with seizures.
Side effects
Sleepiness, dizziness, tiredness, nausea and irritability may occur. New aggression, depression, suicidal thoughts, breathing difficulty or facial swelling needs prompt attention.
Important information
Liver impairment can change the dose requirement. Alcohol adds to impairment. Mood and behaviour changes are important, especially after starting treatment or increasing the dose.
Uses
- Control of focal-onset seizures in an appropriate epilepsy treatment regimen.
Benefits
Can reduce seizure frequency and help maintain more stable seizure control without acting as emergency seizure rescue.
Is brivaracetam interchangeable with levetiracetam?
They both act at SV2A but are different medicines. Their milligram doses are not equivalent, and changing between them needs a planned transition.
What if I miss a tablet?
Take it when remembered unless the next dose is nearly due. Skip a dose close to the next one and continue the usual schedule; do not take two doses together.
Can it stop a seizure that is already prolonged?
It is not a home rescue treatment for a prolonged convulsive seizure. Follow the individual emergency seizure plan and seek emergency help for a prolonged or repeated seizure.
Can it interact with carbamazepine?
Brivaracetam can increase the active carbamazepine-epoxide metabolite. New double vision, marked dizziness or poor coordination can indicate an interaction.
Should I stop it if I have been seizure-free?
Being seizure-free may reflect effective treatment. Sudden withdrawal can provoke seizures; any reduction needs a gradual epilepsy treatment plan.
