Hetram 6 MG Tablet 10 contains Perampanel (6 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Blocks AMPA receptors: Perampanel specifically targets and blocks AMPA receptors, which are a type of glutamate receptor in the brain.

• Reduces glutamate signalling: By inhibiting these receptors, the medicine decreases the ability of glutamate (an excitatory neurotransmitter) to stimulate nerve cells in the brain.

• Decreases neuronal excitability: This blocking action helps reduce the overall excitability of brain cells, creating a stabilising effect on the electrical activity in the brain.

• Suppresses abnormal electrical discharges: By dampening excessive neuronal activity, perampanel helps prevent the abnormal electrical discharges responsible for triggering seizures.

• Store Hetram 6 MG Tablet 10 at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep the tablets in their original container, tightly closed, to protect from light and moisture.

• Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Do not use the tablets after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Maintain a regular sleep schedule with consistent bedtimes and wake times, as sleep deprivation can trigger seizures in people with epilepsy.

• Limit or avoid alcohol consumption, as it may increase the side effects of perampanel (the active ingredient in Hetram 6 MG Tablet 10) and potentially worsen seizure control.
