About KEPPRA

KEPPRA is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Levetiracetam, used to treat certain types of seizures and epilepsy. It is available in various forms, including tablets and oral solutions, and is typically taken once or twice daily as directed by a healthcare professional.

Active Ingredient & Action

Levetiracetam, the active ingredient in KEPPRA, is a pyrrolidine derivative that acts on the central nervous system. It is believed to exert its antiepileptic effects by binding to SV2A, a synaptic vesicle protein, which modulates neurotransmitter release and neuronal excitability.

KEPPRA may cause dizziness, fatigue, and irritability. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage and inform your healthcare provider of any medical history, including kidney disease, liver disease, or a history of substance abuse. KEPPRA should not be taken with other medications without consulting a healthcare professional.
