Brief summary
The objective of this study is to identify the following in adult epilepsy participants with partial-onset seizures (with or without secondary generalized seizures) or primary generalized Tonic-clonic seizures who receive long-term treatment with Fycompa: 1. unknown adverse drug reactions (ADRs); 2. occurrence of ADRs; 3. factors that are likely to affect safety and efficacy; 4. occurrence of dizziness, balance disorders, ataxia, muscle relaxation-related adverse events, and falls as priority investigation items; 5. occurrence of psychiatric adverse events as priority investigation items (eg, aggression).
Interventions
The usual oral dosage for adults and children 12 years of age or older is initially 2 milligrams (mg) once daily as perampanel at bedtime, and the daily dose may then be increased by 2 mg at intervals of 1 week or longer. The maintenance dose is 8 mg once daily in the absence of concomitant antiepileptic drugs that accelerate the metabolism of this product, or 8 to 12 mg once daily in the presence of such concomitant drugs. The dosage may be increased or decreased as necessary by 2 mg at intervals of 1 week or longer depending on symptoms, but the maximum daily dose should not be over 12 mg.
