Britam 50 Tablet consists of brivaracetam (50 mg), which works as follows:

• Binds to Synaptic Vesicle Protein 2A (SV2A): Brivaracetam attaches itself to a specific protein in your brain called synaptic vesicle protein 2A or SV2A. This protein plays a pivotal role in managing electrical activity within your brain.

• Stabilises Electrical Activity: By binding to SV2A, brivaracetam aids in creating a balance in electrical activity in your brain which helps manage epileptic seizures.

• Inhibits Rapid Spread of Seizure Impulses: Brivaracetam works by restricting the rapid spread of seizure impulses within your brain.

• Enhances Normal Neuron Signalling: By enhancing normal signalling between neurons, brivaracetam prevents excessive excitation that can lead to epileptic seizures.

• Store Britam 50 Tablet at room temperature, optimally around 30 degrees Celsius.

• Keep away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.

• Avoid damp or moist areas; keep in a dry place.

• Always verify the expiry date before use; discard any expired medication safely.

• Ensure the tablet pack is out of reach of children.

• Maintain a balanced diet. Try to include foods rich in Vitamin B6 (like bananas, avocados, and spinach), which can help with managing seizures.

• Regular exercise can help manage stress levels and improve overall health, potentially reducing seizure frequency. However, ensure any activities are safe for you, considering your condition. Always consult your doctor regarding suitable forms of exercise.
