Epicure Oral Solution Brivaracetam Rifampicin
ModerateTaking Rifampicin alongside Brivaracetam lowers the amount of Brivaracetam in the blood, most likely because Rifampicin speeds up the liver enzyme (CYP2C19) that breaks Brivaracetam down. While a patient is on Rifampicin, the doctor should raise the Brivaracetam dose by up to 100% (in other words, double it) so that it keeps working properly.
These medicines are often taken together with some care. Your doctor may change a dose, space them apart or check on you more often. Make sure your doctor and pharmacist know you take both.
