BRITAM 100 TABLETS is used for treating partial-onset seizures (seizures involving only one part of the brain) in people with epilepsy (fits) in patients one month of age and older. Partial-onset seizures are characterized by abnormal electrical activity in only one brain hemisphere. Common symptoms are involuntary muscle contractions, followed by relaxation on one side of the body, uncontrolled head or eye movements, rapid heart rate, and a tingling sensation on the skin.
BRITAM 100 TABLETS contains '‘Brivaracetam' that reduces the electrical impulses and subsequent firing of the nerve impulses that cause fits. Thus, BRITAM 100 TABLETS decreases the brain's excessive and abnormal nerve activity, thereby controlling seizures.
BRITAM 100 TABLETS should be used as prescribed by the doctor. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as somnolence (excess sleepiness), dizziness, fatigue (feeling overtired), nausea and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
To treat your condition effectually, continue taking BRITAM 100 TABLETS for as long as your doctor has prescribed.
