Perampanel is a non-competitive antagonist of the ionotropic α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) glutamate receptor on post-synaptic neurons. Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and is implicated in a number of neurological disorders caused by neuronal over excitation. The precise mechanism by which Perampanel exerts its antiepileptic effects in humans is unknown.
Contraceptives: 12 mg once daily may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives containing levonorgestrel. Moderate and Strong CYP3A4 Inducers (including carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, and phenytoin): increase the clearance of Perampanel and decrease Perampanel plasma concentrations.
Perampanel may cause Serious Psychiatric and Behavioral Reactions, Suicidal Behavior and Ideation, Dizziness, Somnolence, Fatigue, Irritability, Falls, Nausea, Ataxia, Balance Disorder etc.
Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm. There are no data on the presence of perampanel in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects of the drug on milk production.
