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

diagnosed epilepsy, to

•
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 mon
