Description
Keppra Oral Solution 100 mg/ml contains levetiracetam, an anticonvulsant used to treat seizures in epilepsy. This liquid formulation allows for flexible dosing and is suitable for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets. Levetiracetam helps stabilize abnormal electrical activity in the brain, thus reducing the frequency and severity of seizures, including partial-onset, myoclonic, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
Dosage/Direction:
The initial dose for adults is typically 10 mg/kg twice daily, which can be adjusted based on the patient’s response and tolerance. The maximum daily dose is usually 3,000 mg. Use the provided dosing cup or syringe to measure the liquid accurately, and follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, and headache. Rare but serious side effects may include mood changes, severe allergic reactions, or suicidal thoughts. Consult your doctor if you experience severe or unusual symptoms.
