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

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 seizures (short, shock-like jerks of a m
