BREVIPIL (Brivaracetam (25mg))

Brevipil 50 Tablet is an anticonvulsant medication that is prescribed for the management of seizures associated with epilepsy. It can be administered as a standalone treatment or in combination with other antiepileptic drugs. Its primary function is to inhibit the irregular electrical impulses in the brain, helping to prevent the occurrence of seizures for as long as the medication is taken consistently. The medication can be ingested with or without food; however, it is advisable to take it at the same time each day for optimal effectiveness. Your healthcare provider will determine the exact dosage and frequency to ensure effective seizure control, which may be gradually adjusted based on your individual response to the treatment. Brevipil is typically intended for long-term use, and it is crucial to adhere to your doctor’s recommendations even if you feel well. Abruptly discontinuing the medication or missing doses can exacerbate seizure activity. It is important to avoid stopping the treatment without consulting your healthcare professional, as a sudden withdrawal could lead to an increase in seizure frequency. Some patients may experience various side effects, including dizziness, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Changes in behavior and increased irritability have also been noted. Although most side effects tend to diminish as the body adjusts, certain symptoms may be serious, and any significant mood changes should prompt immediate medical consultation. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any history of kidney or liver issues, depression, or suicidal thoughts, as well as your pregnancy status or intentions. Breastfeeding women should also seek medical advice before using this medication.
