Brivaracetam Tablets 50 mg

Brivaracetam 50 mg Tablets are an advanced antiepileptic medication used primarily for the treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients with epilepsy. This medication offers improved seizure control with fewer behavioral side effects compared to older antiepileptic drugs.

Pharmacological Action of Brivaracetam Tablets 50 mg

Brivaracetam is a high-affinity ligand for synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), a protein involved in the regulation of neurotransmitter release in the brain. By binding to SV2A, Brivaracetam modulates synaptic transmission and helps reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.

Indications:

• Adjunctive therapy for partial-onset seizures in patients 16 years and older with epilepsy. 
• It may also be considered in generalized epilepsy under specialist supervision.
  

Key Benefits of Brivaracetam Tablets

• Fewer psychiatric and behavioral side effects than some traditional AEDs (e.g., Levetiracetam) 
• Well-tolerated in long-term use 
• Suitable for use in monotherapy or combination therapy 

Dosage & Administration:

• Typically prescribed as 50 mg twice daily (total daily dose: 100 mg), but may be adjusted based on individual response and tolerability. 
• Can be taken with or without food. 
• Must be used under medical supervision.
