Research progress of brivaracetam in the treatment of epilepsy
Pharmacotherapy is the mainstay treatment of epilepsy;however,the significant adverse reactions and poor tolerance associated with traditional antiepileptic drugs limit their clinical application.Brivaracetam,as the third-generation new antiepileptic drug,is mainly indicated for adjunctive therapy and monotherapy for patients with focal epilepsy,and pres-ents a potential option for the treatment of generalized epilepsy and status epilepticus.Compared to the traditional antiepileptic drugs,brivaracetam offers higher safety and tolerability.This article reviews the mechanism of action,pharmacokinetic charac-teristics,efficacy and safety of brivaracetam,aiming to provide more effective choices for the treatment of epilepsy.
