KEPPRA INJECTION 100mg/ml (5ml vial) (Levetiracetam)

KEPPRA INJECTION (Levetiracetam) is a prescription medication designed to treat epilepsy and seizure disorders. It is particularly effective for adults and children aged 4 years and older. This formulation provides a convenient intravenous option for patients who may have difficulty swallowing oral medications.

The active ingredient, Levetiracetam, works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, helping to prevent seizures. KEPPRA is often used as an adjunctive therapy, meaning it can be combined with other antiepileptic drugs for enhanced efficacy.

• Mechanism of Action: Levetiracetam modulates neurotransmitter release and inhibits burst firing, contributing to its anticonvulsant properties.
