About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Fritolev XR 1000 Tablet contains Levetiracetam 1000mg, an antiepileptic medication primarily used to treat seizures in patients with epilepsy. It works by modulating neurotransmitter release and stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, thereby reducing the frequency and severity of seizures. This extended-release formulation allows for once-daily dosing, promoting better adherence and consistent blood levels of the medication. Fritolev XR is indicated for the treatment of partial-onset seizures, myoclonic seizures, and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older. It is often prescribed as adjunctive therapy alongside other antiepileptic drugs but may also be used as monotherapy depending on the clinical scenario. Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, headache, and irritability, which are generally mild and transient. Patients should be monitored for mood changes or signs of depression, as behavioral side effects have been reported. Dose adjustments may be necessary in individuals with renal impairment. It is important to take Fritolev XR exactly as prescribed and not to discontinue abruptly to avoid increased seizure risk. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting or stopping this medication.
