Levesam 500 Tablet is used to control several types of seizures in people with epilepsy. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing levetiracetam 500mg, which belongs to a class of medicines called antiepileptics.
This medicine is used on its own for focal (partial) seizures, and together with other medicines for myoclonic seizures (sudden jerks) and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. It calms abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Take it daily at the same times, with or without food, and swallow the tablet with water.
Keeping regular sleep, avoiding alcohol and stress where possible, and never missing doses help keep seizures under control. Keep a seizure diary to share with your doctor.
Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly, as this can trigger seizures. Before starting, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease or a history of depression, anxiety or other mental health problems, and about other medicines you take. It can cause drowsiness and dizziness, so do not drive until you know how it affects you. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Tell your doctor straight away if you or your family notice low mood, irritability, aggression, unusual behaviour or thoughts of self-harm. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
