Medical applications
Levecad 500 Tablet contains Levetiracetam 500 mg, an antiepileptic medication indicated for the treatment of partial-onset seizures, myoclonic seizures, and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in patients with epilepsy.

This medication is typically prescribed as adjunctive therapy in adults and pediatric patients aged four years and above.

The dosage should be individualized based on clinical response and tolerability, with gradual titration recommended to minimize adverse effects. Common side effects include dizziness, somnolence, headache, and fatigue, while serious adverse reactions are rare but may involve behavioral changes or hypersensitivity. Caution is advised in patients with renal impairment, and dose adjustment may be necessary.
