Active pharmaceutical ingredients treat
seizures in epileptic patients. These are categorised as an anticonvulsant or
antiepileptic medication and are marketed under several brand names, including
Keppra, Levipil, and Torleva. They function by attaching to synaptic vesicle
protein 2A (SV2A), a brain protein involved in neurotransmitter release. Our
drugs are thought to bind to SV2A and reduce the release of some
neurotransmitters, which regulate brain electrical activity and decrease the
likelihood of seizures. Active pharmaceutical ingredients refer to the
antiseptic and disinfection agent chlorhexidine. These are used in healthcare
settings for a variety of purposes, including hand washing, dental hygiene, and
disinfection of surgical sites.
