Description

PERAMPANEL belongs to a group of medicines called anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy. Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. In epilepsy, the brain’s electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures, sometimes leading unconscious state. 

PERAMPANEL contains ‘Perampanel’. It prevents seizures or epilepsy by blocking a receptor in the brain known as the glutamate receptor, thereby suppressing the brain’s abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells.

In some cases, PERAMPANEL may cause common side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, increased or decreased appetite, weight gain, fatigue, and nausea. 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.

PERAMPANEL is not recommended during pregnancy and in children below four years. Consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding. PERAMPANEL may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid consuming alcohol along with PERAMPANEL as it could lead to increased dizziness and drowsiness. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience suicidal tendencies. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.
