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

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Brivup Syrup 100 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Please do not stop taking Brivup Syrup 100 ml without consulting your doctor to avoid worsening of seizures.
