Levetiracetam 250mg Tablets, 60 Tablets

Do you suffer from seizures as a result of epilepsy? If so, you need a medication that can effectively control your condition and prevent the occurrence of seizures. Levetiracetam 250mg tablets may be the perfect solution for you.

Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic medicine that has been shown to be effective in treating seizures in people with epilepsy. In clinical studies, Levetiracetam has been shown to reduce seizure frequency by up to 50% in patients with epilepsy.

Not only is Levetiracetam effective in treating seizures, but it is also well tolerated by most patients. The most common side effects associated with Levetiracetam are dizziness, headache, and nausea. These side effects are usually mild and disappear over time.

If you are looking for an effective and well-tolerated medication for treating your epilepsy, ask your doctor about Levetiracetam 500mg tablets.

Levetiracetam 250mg Tablets is used:

  • on its own in adults and adolescents from 16 years of age with newly diagnosed epilepsy, to treat a certain form of epilepsy. Epilepsy is a condition where the patients have repeated fits (seizures). Levetiracetam is used for the epilepsy form in which the fits initially affect only one side of the brain, but could thereafter extend to larger areas on both sides of the brain (partial onset seizure with or without secondary generalisation). Levetiracetam has been given to you by your doctor to reduce the number of fits.
    • as an add-on to other antiepileptic medicines to treat:

    partial onset seizures with or without generalisation in adults, adolescents, children and infants from one month of age

    • myoclonic seizures (short, shock-like jerks of a muscle or group of muscles) in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy.
    • primary generalised tonic-clonic seizures (major fits, including loss of consciousness) in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age with idiopathic generalised epilepsy(the type of epilepsy that is thought to have a genetic cause).

Levetiracetam 250mg Tablets can be used to treat cats and dogs.
