Epilepsy is a condition where the patients have repeated fits (seizures). Levetiracetam is used for the epilepsy form in which the fits initially affect only one side of the brain, but could thereafter extend to larger areas on both sides of the brain (partial onset seizures with or without secondary generalization). _Iracet_ has been given to you by your doctor to reduce the number of fits. • as an add-on to other antiepileptic medicines to treat: - partial onset seizures with or without secondary generalization in adults and children from 4 years of age with epilepsy. - myoclonic seizures (short, shock-like jerks of a muscle or group of muscles) in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy - primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (major fits, including loss of consciousness) in adults and children from 12 years of age with Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy. HOW _IRACET_ WORKS _Iracet_ _ _ is an antiepileptic medicine (a medicine used to treat seizures in epilepsy). BEFORE YOU USE _IRACET_ _ _ _When you must not use it _ Do not take Iracet • If you are allergic to levetiracetam, pyrrolidone derivatives or any of the other ingredients of this medicine. _Pregnancy and breastfeeding: _ If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine. _Iracet_ can be used during pregnancy, only if after careful assessment i Διαβάστε το πλήρες έγγραφο
IRACET ORAL SOLUTION 100MG/ML Each ml solution contains Levetiracetam 100 mg. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION An orange color solution having sweet orange flavor with slight bitter taste; free from any visible foreign particle. The solution is filled in transparent PET bottle and sealed with white color PP cap overprinted with “SQUARE”. PHARMACODYNAMICS Pharmacotherapeutic group: antiepileptics, other antiepileptics, ATC code: N03AX14 Mechanism of action The active substance, levetiracetam, is a pyrrolidone derivative (S-enantiomer of α-ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine acetamide), chemically unrelated to existing antiepileptic active substances. The mechanism of action of levetiracetam still remains to be fully elucidated. Levetiracetam does not alter basic cell characteristics and normal neurotransmission. Levetiracetam affects intraneuronal Ca2+ levels by partial inhibition of N-type Ca2+ currents and by reducing the release of Ca2+ from intraneuronal stores. In addition, it partially reverses the reductions in GABA- and glycine-gated currents induced by zinc and β-carbolines. Furthermore, levetiracetam bind to a specific site in rodent brain tissue. This binding site is the synaptic vesicle protein 2A, believed to be involved in vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter exocytosis. Levetiracetam and related analogs show a rank order of affinity for binding to the synaptic vesicle protein 2A which correlates with the potency of their anti-seizure protection in the mouse audiogenic model of epilepsy. The interaction between levetiracetam and the synaptic vesicle protein 2A seems to contribute to the antiepileptic mechanism of action of the medicinal product. Pharmacodynamic effects Levetiracetam induces seizure protection in partial and primary generalised seizures without having a pro-convulsant effect. The primary metabolite is inactive. In man, an activity in both partial and generalized epilepsy conditions (epileptiform discharge/ photoparoxysmal response) has confirmed the broad-spectrum pharmacological profile of levetiracet Διαβάστε το πλήρες έγγραφο
