Keppra 1000mg - 30 Tablets

Mechanism of Action: The exact mechanism of action of levetiracetam is unknown, but it is thought to work by binding to synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), which is involved in the release of neurotransmitters. This may help to reduce the abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures.

Therapeutic Indications: Keppra 1000mg 30 Tablets is indicated for the treatment of partial onset seizures with or without secondary generalization in adults and children from 4 years of age with epilepsy.

Non-Pharmacological Treatments & Advice:

Get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation is a common trigger for seizures, so it is important to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night.

Avoid alcohol and drugs. Alcohol and drugs can also trigger seizures, so it is best to avoid them altogether.

Manage stress. Stress can also make seizures more likely, so it is important to find healthy ways to manage it, such as exercise, relaxation techniques, and spending time with loved ones.

Take your medication as prescribed. It is important to take Keppra 1000mg 30 Tablets exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not miss any doses or take more than prescribed.

Additional advice:

Keep a seizure diary. This can help you to track your seizures and identify any patterns or triggers.

Wear a medical alert bracelet. This will let others know that you have epilepsy and what to do if you have a seizure.

Talk to your doctor about your driving privileges. People with epilepsy may not be able to drive safely, so it is important to talk to your doctor about your individual situation.
