Perampanel 2 mg
Treatment of epilepsy: adjunct therapy for partial-onset (focal) seizures with or without secondary generalization, and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (as prescribed by neurologist)
Perampanel is an antiepileptic that selectively blocks AMPA-type glutamate receptors in the brain. This reduces excessive excitatory neurotransmission and helps prevent the abnormal electrical activity that triggers seizures.
Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at bedtime; may be taken with or without food. Swallow tablet whole with water. Do not stop abruptly; dose is usually titrated gradually. If a dose is missed, take the next dose at the usual time (do not double).
Common side effects of Ampanel 2 Tablet may include:
May cause dizziness, sleepiness and impaired coordination—avoid driving/operating machinery until effects are known. Risk of serious psychiatric/behavioral reactions (aggression, anger, hostility, suicidal thoughts); seek medical help if mood/behavior changes occur. Use caution in elderly and those at risk of falls. Do not stop suddenly due to risk of increased seizures. Use caution in hepatic impairment; dose adjustment may be required.
