Consuming alcohol when taking Perampanel is strictly contraindicated due to potential worsening of side effect on the central nervous system.
Animal reproductive studies did not indicate fetal harm or toxicity but do show embryological toxicity. Human pregnancy data is limited and thus it is not recommended for Perampanel to be used during pregnancy.
It is not known whether Perampanel is excreted into human breastmilk or not. Due to its potential toxicity, Perampanel is not advisable to be used during breastfeeding. If being used during breastfeeding, alternative to the latter should be sought.
It is not advisable to drive when under Perampanel treatment due to its potential side effects such as fatigue and dizziness which can affect the ability to concentrate and drive.
Perampanel should be used with caution in people with mild renal impairment and is contraindicated for those with moderate to severe renal impairment.
