LEVERA SOLUTION 100ML

About

LEVERA SOLUTION 100ML contains Levetiracetam, an antiepileptic drug used in the treatment of various seizure disorders. It is believed to exert its anticonvulsant effects by binding to synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) in the brain, which modulates neurotransmitter release and helps to stabilize neuronal activity. This mechanism of action is distinct from other antiepileptic drugs, making it a valuable option for patients who may not respond to conventional treatments.

This oral solution is indicated for the treatment of partial onset seizures, myoclonic seizures in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Its liquid form allows for precise dose titration and is particularly beneficial for pediatric patients or adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets. LEVERA SOLUTION helps to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures, thereby improving the patient's quality of life and functional independence.

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Avoid or limit alcohol consumption while taking Levetiracetam, as it can increase central nervous system depression, leading to enhanced drowsiness and dizziness.

• Breastfeeding - Levetiracetam is excreted into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding, as potential effects on the infant should be considered.
• Liver - Generally, no major dose adjustment is required for patients with liver impairment, but use with caution in severe cases. Your doctor will monitor your condition.
• Kidney - Dose adjustment is required in patients with impaired kidney function, as Levetiracetam is primarily excreted renally. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage.
• Lung - No specific contraindications related to lung conditions are typically associated with Levetiracetam, but always inform your doctor about any pre-existing respiratory issues.
