Description

Levesam Oral Solution contains Levetiracetam 500mg per 5ml, an antiepileptic (anti-seizure) medication in liquid form, designed for pediatric patients, adults with swallowing difficulties, or patients requiring precise dose adjustments.

This oral solution helps to control partial, myoclonic, and generalized seizures by modulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain, stabilizing neuronal electrical activity, and reducing seizure frequency. The solution formulation allows flexible dosing based on patient age, weight, and clinical response.
