Description:

Leveret 250mg Tablets contain Levetiracetam, a broad-spectrum antiepileptic drug (AED) used for the management of partial-onset seizures, myoclonic seizures, and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. It acts by modulating synaptic neurotransmitter release through binding to synaptic vesicle protein SV2A, thereby stabilizing neuronal activity without affecting normal neuronal excitability.

Key Features:

• Effective in a wide range of seizure types.

• Rapid onset of action with favorable safety profile.

• Minimal drug interactions—suitable for combination therapy.

• Well-tolerated with low risk of sedation or cognitive impairment.

• Available in multiple strengths for dose titration.

Dosage & Administration:

• Adults and adolescents ≥16 years: Starting dose is typically 500 mg/day in two divided doses.

• Dose may be adjusted based on response and tolerability.

• 250 mg strength is commonly used for dose titration or in low-dose therapy.

• Can be taken with or without food.

• Always follow the physician’s prescribed dosing schedule.

Precautions:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Levetiracetam.

• Use with caution in patients with renal impairment—dose adjustment required.

• Monitor for mood changes, depression, or behavioral abnormalities.

• Possible side effects include dizziness, fatigue, somnolence, and irritability.

• Gradual withdrawal is advised to prevent seizure recurrence.
