Xcopri is indicated for the treatment of focal (partial) seizures in adults. It is used as adjunctive therapy when other antiepileptic medications alone are not adequately controlling seizures.
The exact mechanism of action is not fully specified. It is believed to work through enhancement of GABAergic inhibition and reduction of sodium channel currents, which helps reduce seizure activity in the brain.
Xcopri may cause serious or life-threatening reactions including drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and fatigue. It may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts. Do not discontinue abruptly without medical supervision. Regular monitoring may be required during treatment.
