Description
Ampanel 2 Tablet is a prescription medicine manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. It contains Perampanel (2mg), an anticonvulsant that works by selectively blocking AMPA receptors in the brain, which are involved in seizure activity.
This medicine is used as an adjunct therapy for patients with partial-onset seizures or primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, particularly when other antiepileptic drugs alone are not sufficient to control seizures. Ampanel helps reduce seizure frequency and improve overall seizure management.
