Levesam 250 Eazy Glide Tablet

Description

Levesam 250 Eazy Glide Tablet contains Levetiracetam 250mg, an antiepileptic (anti-seizure) medication used for managing epilepsy and seizure disorders. This formulation is designed for easy swallowing, making it suitable for patients who may have difficulty with standard tablets.

Levetiracetam works by modulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain, helping to stabilize electrical activity and prevent seizure episodes. It is often used as adjunctive therapy in both adults and children with partial-onset seizures, myoclonic seizures, or tonic-clonic seizures.

Uses

• Partial-onset seizures in adults and children

• Myoclonic seizures associated with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy

• Primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures

• Prevents recurrence of seizures and reduces seizure frequency

• Can be used as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy depending on patient needs

How It Works

• Levetiracetam binds to synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) in the brain.

• Modulates neurotransmitter release and reduces excessive neuronal firing.

• Helps stabilize electrical activity in the brain, lowering the risk of seizures.

• Well-tolerated with minimal drug interactions compared to older antiepileptics.

Benefits

• Reduces frequency and severity of seizures

• Can be used in children, adolescents, and adults

• Minimal interaction with other medications

• Available in easy-to-swallow tablet form for better patient compliance

• Rapid onset of action helps control seizures effectively

Directions for Use

• Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by the doctor.

• Usually taken twice daily, with or without food.

• Swallow whole; do not crush or chew to preserve the extended-release properties (if applicable).

• Dose adjustments may be necessary for renal impairment or based on clinical response.

Safety Information

• Common side effects: drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, headache, irritability.

• Serious side effects (rare): mood changes, suicidal thoughts, severe allergic reactions, behavioral disturbances in children.

• Avoid sudden discontinuation, as this may trigger seizures.

• Use with caution in patients with kidney disease; dose adjustments may be required.
