Indications
Bivara Oral Solution is indicated for:
-
Treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients with epilepsy
-
Adjunctive therapy in patients not adequately controlled with other antiepileptic drugs
-
Suitable for both adults and pediatric patients (as per physician recommendation)
Composition
-
Active Ingredient: Brivaracetam
-
Strength: 50 mg per 5 ml

Dosage Form: Oral solution
Mechanism of Action
Brivaracetam works by binding selectively to the synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) in the brain. This action helps regulate neurotransmitter release and stabilizes abnormal electrical activity in neurons, thereby reducing the frequency and severity of seizures.
Its high affinity for SV2A contributes to its effectiveness in controlling epileptic activity with fewer central nervous system side effects compared to some older antiepileptic drugs.
