About
Brivasure 100 mg contains Brivaracetam, an antiepileptic drug (AED) used in the treatment of partial-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization in patients aged 4 years and older. Brivaracetam is believed to exert its anticonvulsant effects by selectively binding with high affinity to synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) in the brain. This binding modulates neurotransmitter release, thereby stabilizing hyperexcitable neuronal membranes and reducing seizure activity. It is often used as adjunctive therapy when other antiepileptic medications are insufficient.
Brivaracetam is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration, reaching peak plasma concentrations within an hour. Its mechanism of action is distinct from many other AEDs, offering a new option for patients who have not responded well to existing treatments. Careful titration and monitoring are essential to optimize therapeutic benefits and minimize potential side effects, ensuring patient safety and efficacy in seizure control.
