Briviact 100mg Tablet works by selectively binding to synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) in the brain. This protein is involved in the release of neurotransmitters, including gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate, which play a major role in regulating brain activity. By binding to SV2A, this drug helps stabilize the release of these neurotransmitters, reducing excessive electrical activity in the brain and preventing seizures.
