About Brivapride Syrup

Brivapride Syrup is used for treating partial-onset seizures in patients one month of age and older. Partial-onset seizures are characterised by abnormal electrical activity in only one brain hemisphere.

Before taking Brivapride Syrup , let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and medications you are using. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
