Product Overview

Levera XR 500 Tablet 10's is an anti-convulsant drug that is primarily used to treat seizures (fits) caused by epilepsy. Epilepsy is a chronic illness in which individuals experience recurring seizures (convulsions). Levera XR 500 Tablet 10's is used to treat epilepsy in which fits affect only one side of the brain but can spread to wider portions on both sides.

Levetiracetam is included in Levera XR 500 Tablet 10's and is used to treat epilepsy symptoms in combination or alone. It works by slowing down the aberrant impulses sent by the brain, which causes seizures. It aids in the inhibition of parts of the brain responsible for unusual activity and the propagation of electrical impulses that cause seizures.
