WHAT FYCOMPA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Fycompa contains a medicine called perampanel. It belongs to a group
of medicines called
anti epileptics. These medicines are used to treat epilepsy - where
someone has repeated fits (seizures).
It has been given to you by your doctor to reduce the number of fits
that you have.
Fycompa is used in association with other antiepileptic drugs to treat
certain forms of epilepsy:
In adults, adolescents (aged 12 years and older), and children (from 4
to 11 years)
-
It is used to treat fits that affect one part of your brain (called a
“partial seizure”).
-
These partial seizures may or may not then be followed by a fit
affecting all of your brain
(called a “secondary generalisation”).
In adults and adolescents (aged 12 years and older), and children
(from 7 to 11 years)
-
It is also used to treat certain fits that affect all of your brain
from the start (called “generalised
seizures”) and cause convulsions or staring spells.
