Levepsy 250 Tablet 10 contains levetiracetam (250 mg), which performs the following functions on your body:

• Binding to Specific Sites: Levetiracetam attaches itself to specific sites known as SV2A on nerve cell surfaces within your brain.
• Suppressing Abnormal Cell Activity: It works by suppressing the abnormal electrical activity of nerve cells, which can lead to seizures.
• Controlling Electrical Signals: This medication also prevents the spread of electrical signals that cause seizures.

This mechanism of action helps stabilise the electrical activity in your brain, thereby reducing both the frequency and severity of epileptic seizures.

• Store Levepsy 250 Tablet 10 at room temperature, ideally below 25°C
• Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture; a dry, dark cupboard is ideal.

• Regular physical activity can help manage epilepsy. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like walking or cycling, daily. Remember to consult your doctor before starting any new fitness regimen.
• A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can also support overall brain health. Try to limit your intake of processed foods, as they can sometimes trigger seizures.
