What Experts Say

Levetiracetam calms abnormal electrical signals in the brain, which reduces how often seizures occur.

It is usually taken twice a day, about 12 hours apart, and the dose is adjusted gradually by the doctor based on response.

Sudden discontinuation can trigger seizures, and any new irritability, agitation or low mood should be reported to the doctor promptly.
