How Does It Work?

• Seizures generally occur due to abnormal nerve activity in the brain resulting in uncontrolled movements, loss of consciousness and abnormal feelings.
• Brivasure Tablet acts on the brain and inhibits the spread of abnormal electrical activity. It works by binding itself to synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), a specific receptor in the brain and helps in stabilizing the neuronal disturbance in the brain which can cause seizures.
