Epitra 750 Tablet 10 contains levetiracetam (750 mg), which interacts with the body in the following ways:

• Binding to SV2A Protein: Levetiracetam attaches itself to a specific site on nerve cells known as the SV2A protein.
• Modulating Neurotransmitter Release: It regulates the release of neurotransmitters that can trigger seizures.
• Suppressing Epileptiform Burst Firing: This medicine helps suppress the over-synchronisation of epileptiform burst firing, which can lead to seizures.
• Reducing Seizure Spread: It diminishes the spread of seizure activity from its focal point.

By controlling these elements of neuronal activity, levetiracetam assists in stabilising brain activity and preventing abnormal firing patterns that characterise epileptic seizures.

• Follow a balanced diet, including foods rich in vitamins B6, B12, and E, which are known to support brain health. This medicine is used to manage epilepsy.
• Stress, a common trigger for seizures, can be managed through gentle exercises like walking or yoga. However, it's important to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
