Levetiracetam is available in several forms, including tablets, oral solution, and injection. It is usually taken two or three times daily, with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the individual’s age, weight, and the severity of their condition.
Common side effects of levetiracetam may include dizziness, drowsiness, headache, and mood changes. More serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions, abnormal blood cell counts, and liver or kidney problems. It is important to take levetiracetam exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider and to report any side effects or concerns promptly.
Levetiracetam can interact with other medications, so it is important to inform a healthcare provider of all medications and supplements being taken before starting treatment with levetiracetam.
