Levetiracetam 
LEVECERTAIN is an antiepileptic drug (AED) that is primarily used for the treatment of epilepsy. LEVECERTAIN is prescribed to control and prevent seizures in various types of epilepsy, including partial-onset seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and myoclonic seizures.
Here are some key points about LEVECERTAIN:
Mechanism of action: The exact mechanism of action of LEVECERTAIN is not fully understood. However, it is believed to work by binding to a protein called synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), which is involved in the regulation of neurotransmitter release. By binding to SV2A, LEVECERTAIN is thought to modulate neurotransmitter release, thereby reducing the occurrence of seizures.
Indications: LEVECERTAIN is primarily used as an adjunctive (add-on) treatment for epilepsy, meaning it is prescribed in combination with other antiepileptic medications. It can be used in both adults and children, including infants as young as one month old. LEVECERTAIN is also sometimes prescribed for other off-label uses, such as for the treatment of neuropathic pain or as a mood stabilizer in certain psychiatric conditions.
Dosage and administration: LEVECERTAIN is available in various forms, including tablets, extended-release tablets, oral solution, and injection. The dosage and dosing frequency depend on factors such as the patient's age, weight, and the specific type of epilepsy being treated. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Side effects: Common side effects of LEVECERTAIN may include drowsiness, dizziness, irritability, headache, and weakness. These side effects are generally mild and transient. Less commonly, LEVECERTAIN may cause more serious side effects, such as behavioral changes, mood swings, or allergic reactions. It is important to report any unusual or severe side effects to your healthcare provider.
Precautions and interactions: LEVECERTAIN may interact with certain medications, such as other antiepileptic drugs or drugs that affect the central nervous system. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking to avoid potential interactions. LEVECERTAIN is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy, but it is important to discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider.
Treatment duration: The duration of LEVECERTAIN treatment varies depending on the individual's response to the medication and the specific type of epilepsy being treated. In some cases, long-term treatment may be necessary to maintain seizure control. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate duration for your situation.
