CompositionBrivazen Sr 100 Tablet 10 is an antiepileptic medicine used to treat partial-onset seizures in people with epilepsy. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing brivaracetam, and belongs to a class of medicines called antiepileptics.
This medicine works by binding to a protein (SV2A) in nerve cells in the brain, which calms the abnormal electrical activity that triggers seizures. It is used on its own or as an add-on to other seizure medicines in adults, adolescents and children over one month old. Swallow the tablet whole and take it at the same times each day, as your doctor prescribes.
Keeping regular sleep, avoiding alcohol, and noting any seizure triggers can help you manage epilepsy alongside this medicine. Until you know how it affects you, avoid driving or operating machinery.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, a history of depression or mood problems, or are taking other medicines, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Seek urgent help if you notice thoughts of self-harm, severe mood changes, or a worsening of seizures, and do not stop this medicine suddenly.
