WHAT LEVETIRACETAM ACTAVIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic medicine (a medicine used to treat
seizures in epilepsy).
Levetiracetam Actavis is used:
•
on its own in adults and adolescents from 16 years of age with newly
diagnosed epilepsy, to
treat a certain form of epilepsy. 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 seizure with or without secondary generalisation). Levetiracetam
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 generalisation in adults,
adolescents, children and
infants from one month of age;
•
myoclonic seizu
