The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use adopted a positive opinion recommending a change to the terms of the marketing authorisation for the medicinal product Briviact (brivaracetam) from UCB Pharma.

Detailed recommendations for the use of this product will be described in the updated summary of product characteristics (SmPC), which will be published in the revised European public assessment report (EPAR), and will be available in all official European Union languages after a decision on this change to the marketing authorisation has been granted by the European Commission.
