Brivazen SR 100 Tablet

Drug | Tablet

Treatment of partial-onset (focal) seizures in epilepsy, as monotherapy or adjunct therapy in adults as prescribed.

Brivaracetam binds selectively to synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) in the brain, modulating neurotransmitter release. This stabilizes neuronal activity and helps reduce seizure frequency.

Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily for SR formulations, with or without food. Swallow tablet whole; do not crush or chew. Do not stop suddenly; tapering may be needed to avoid seizure worsening.

Drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, irritability, headache, sleep disturbances

May cause somnolence and dizziness; avoid driving until you know the effect. Monitor for mood/behavior changes, depression or suicidal thoughts. Use caution in liver impairment (dose adjustment may be needed). Abrupt discontinuation can increase seizure risk.

Alcohol and other CNS depressants increase sedation, rifampicin may reduce brivaracetam levels, carbamazepine and phenytoin may have additive CNS effects and may alter levels, levetiracetam (monitor clinical response), oral contraceptives generally have no significant interaction at usual doses but follow prescriber advice

Store at room temperature, protected from moisture and light. Keep in original packaging.
