How Briva works
Briva is an antiepileptic medication. It works by attaching itself to specific sites (SV2A) on the surfaces of nerve cells. This suppresses the abnormal activity of the nerve cells in the brain and prevents the spread of electrical signals that cause seizures.

Pregnancy
No adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women
In animal studies, brivaracetam produced evidence of developmental toxicity at plasma exposures greater than clinical exposure
Lactation
Unknown if distributed in human breast milk
Studies in rats have shown excretion in milk
Because many drugs are excreted into human milk, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother
Interaction
Doubled effect of alcohol on psychomotor function, attention & memory. Possible increase in plasma conc w/ strong CYP2C19 inhibitors (eg, fluconazole, fluvoxamine). Decreased plasma conc w/ strong enzyme inducers (eg, rifampicin; carbamazepine, phenobarb, phenytoin; St. John's wort). May increase plasma conc of CYP2C19-metabolised products (eg, lansoprazole, omeprazole, diazepam); OAT3-transported medicinal products. May decrease plasma conc of CYP2B6-metabolised products (eg, efavirenz). Increased conc of carbamazepine epoxide.
