About Brivanext 100mg Tablet

BRIVARACETAM belongs to a group of medications called 'anti-convulsant' primarily used in the prevention of partial-onset seizures in people with epilepsy (fits). Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. In epilepsy the brain's electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures. In patients with seizures, the typical brain electrical pattern is disrupted by sudden bursts of electrical impulses that affect an individual’s consciousness, movements, or sensations.

BRIVARACETAM contains '‘Brivaracetam' that reduces the electrical impulses and subsequent firing of the nerve impulses that cause fits. Thus, BRIVARACETAM decreases the excessive and abnormal nerve activity in the brain, thereby controlling seizures.
