About Briv Syrup 100 ml

Briv Syrup 100 ml belongs to a group of medications called 'anti-convulsants'. It 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.

Briv Syrup 100 ml contains '‘Brivaracetam' that reduces the electrical impulses and subsequent firing of the nerve impulses that cause fits. Thus, Briv Syrup 100 ml decreases the brain's excessive and abnormal nerve activity, thereby controlling seizures.

Briv Syrup 100 ml 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 Briv Syrup 100 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Briv Syrup 100 ml should be gradually withdrawn, so please do not stop taking Briv Syrup 100 ml without consulting your doctor. Before taking the Briv Syrup 100 ml, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. You should not breastfeed unless the doctor advises. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience suicidal tendencies. It is recommended not to drive or operate machinery as Briv Syrup 100 ml may cause tiredness and fatigue. It is recommended not to take alcoholic beverages while on Brivaracetam therapy.
