INTRODUCTION

AMPANEL 2 TABLET contains Perampanel which belongs to the group of medicines called Anticonvulsants. It is used in association with other antiepileptic drugs to treat seizures such as partial seizures (fits that affect one part of the brain) with or without secondary generalisation (fits affecting all the brain) in adults, adolescents (12 years and above) and children (4 to 11 years of age).

It is also used to treat generalized seizures (fits that affect all the brain and cause convulsions or starting spells) in adults, adolescents (12 years and above) and children (7 to 11 years of age).

Seizure is a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed and during seizures person may experience abnormal behaviour, symptoms and sensations including loss of consciousness.

Perampanel blocks certain chemicals that regulate a broad spectrum of processes in the brain, spinal cord, retina, and nerves. These chemicals are excessively produced during the sudden disruption of the brain’s normal electrical activity that results in epileptic fits. This inhibitory action enables sufficient control over seizures without substantial impairment of brain function.

AMPANEL 2 TABLET is not recommended for use in patients with serious liver problems, moderate or serious kidney problems or patients allergic to perampanel or if you have ever developed a severe skin rash or skin peeling, blistering or mouth sores after taking perampanel.
