Keppra (Levetiracetam)

Keppra (Levetiracetam) is a medication used to help control seizures in people with epilepsy. It works by calming abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures. Keppra is usually taken as a tablet or liquid, and it’s prescribed by a doctor to reduce the frequency and severity of seizures. It’s generally well-tolerated but may cause side effects like fatigue, dizziness, or mood changes. It’s important to take Keppra exactly as prescribed and not stop suddenly, as this can increase seizure risk. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor its effectiveness and safety.
