    Subjects check into the clinic the afternoon prior to the day of Brivaracetam (BRV) administration. The next day, a single dose of BRV 10 mg oral tablet will be administered in the morning. Following BRV administration, subjects will be observed for up to 48 hours. A Wash-Out Period of at least 7 days will separate the subsequent drug administrations. * Strength: 10 mg * Form: Oral tablet * Frequency: Once daily * Duration: 1 day
