Brivaracetam, sold under the brand name Briviact among others, is a medication used to treat epilepsy, specifically partial-onset seizures. It is used in people over the age of 3 together with other epilepsy medicines. It may be taken by mouth or injected into a vein.

Common side effects include sleepiness, dizziness, tiredness, and nausea. Other side effects may include suicide, psychosis, angioedema, and anxiety. Use in pregnancy may harm the baby. How it works is unclear; however, may related to synaptic vesicle protein 2A. It is chemically similar to levetiracetam.

Brivaracetam was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2016. In the United Kingdom 4 weeks of medications costs the NHS about £130 as of 2021. This amount in the United States is about 1,200 USD.
