Is there a generic version of Briviact (brivaracetam) available?
Briviact’s active ingredient is brivaracetam. A true “generic” version would be a generic brivaracetam product that the FDA approves for equivalence to the branded drug.
Based on the available information here, there is no confirmed generic “Briviact” (brivaracetam) launch stated.
Are there generic brivaracetam alternatives you can use instead?
If a generic brivaracetam is not available, patients typically rely on:
- The brand-name product Briviact (brivaracetam), or
- Other antiseizure drugs with different active ingredients prescribed as substitutions.
Your pharmacist or prescriber can check current FDA approvals and pharmacy availability in your specific dosage strength.

How to confirm quickly with your pharmacy
Ask your pharmacy to look up:
- “brivaracetam” (generic name) availability, and
- FDA-approved generic status for your exact dose (for example, 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 75 mg, or 100 mg).
If you tell me your country (US/UK/Canada/EU) and the Briviact strength you use, I can tailor the guidance to what typically applies there.
