FYCOMPA (perampanel) is an oral noncompetitive AMPA glutamate receptor antagonist approved in 2016 as an adjunctive treatment for seizure disorders. It works by blocking AMPA receptors to reduce neuronal excitability and prevent seizure propagation. The suspension formulation enables flexible dosing, particularly for patients who cannot tolerate tablets.
