Rivotril (European) 2mg

Rivotril is a medicine made in Europe that doctors sometimes give to grown-ups who have seizures (like when your body shakes and you can’t control it). It helps to quiet down the electrical activity in your brain that causes seizures. It’s like putting a gentle brake on your brain to stop it from getting too active. Sometimes, doctors might also use it to help with really bad panic attacks or anxiety.

What Good Things Can Rivotril Do?

• Helps Stop Seizures: It can make seizures happen less often.
• Can Make Panic Attacks Less Scary: It might help if you have sudden feelings of strong fear.
• Can Calm Down Bad Worrying: It might also help when you feel very anxious.
• You Don’t Have to Take It Too Often: It works for a while, so you might not need to take it many times a day.

How Grown-ups Take It:

• The Doctor Decides the Amount: The doctor will tell you how much to take based on your condition.
• You Might Take It a Few Times a Day: Sometimes, you need to take it more than once.
• Older People Usually Take Less: Older adults might need a smaller amount.

Things to Be Careful About:

• Can Make You Feel Sleepy or Clumsy: You might feel tired or have trouble with your balance.
• Tell Your Doctor About Other Medicines: It’s important for your doctor to know about all the pills you take.
• Don’t Stop Suddenly: You should only stop taking it if your doctor tells you to, and usually slowly.
