Product Overview
About Epixram
Epixram was developed for the treatment of epilepsy.
What it is used for
Epixram was to be used on its own in patients aged 16 years and older with newly diagnosed epilepsy, to treat partial onset seizures (starting in a specific part of the brain) with or without generalisation (when the abnormal electrical activity spreads through the brain). Epixram was also meant to be used as an add-on to other epilepsy medicines in patients aged 12 years and older to treat: partial onset seizures with or without generalisation in patients with epilepsy; myoclonic seizures (short shock-like jerks of a muscle or group of muscles) in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy; primary generalised tonic-clonic seizures (major seizure with loss of consciousness) in patients with idiopathic generalised epilepsy (a type of epilepsy that is thought to have a genetic cause).
How it is used
Epixram contains the active substance levetiracetam and was to be available as prolonged-release granules to be taken by mouth. Prolonged release means that the active substance is released slowly into the body over a few hours after taking the medicine.
How it works
The active substance in Epixram, levetiracetam, is used for the treatment of epilepsy. Epilepsy is caused by excessive electrical activity in the brain. The exact way in which levetiracetam works is still unclear but it seems to interfere with a protein called synaptic vesicle protein 2A, which is found in the spaces between nerves and is involved in the release of chemical messengers from nerve cells. Levetiracetam stabilises the electrical activity in the brain and prevents the occurrence of seizures in patients with epilepsy.
