WHAT LEVETIRACETAM ACCORD IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Levetiracetam Accord is an antiepileptic medicine (a medicine used to
treat seizures in epilepsy).
Levetiracetam Accord is used:

on its own in adults and adolescents from 16 years of age with newly
diagnosed epilepsy, to

fits initially affect only
one side of the brain but could thereafter extend to larger areas on
both sides of the brain
(partial onset seizure with or without secondary generalisation).
Levetiracetam has been given


as an add-on to other antiepileptic medicines to treat:
-
partial onset seizures with or without generalisation in adults,
adolescents, children
and infants from one month of age;
-
myoclonic seizures (short, s
