Levigress 1000 Tablet 10 contains Levetiracetam (1000 mg), which acts in your body in the following way:

• Binding to SV2A sites: Levetiracetam attaches itself to specific sites on nerve cells in the brain known as SV2A.
• Stabilising electrical activity: Once bound to the SV2A sites, levetiracetam stabilizes the electrical activity in your brain. This helps prevent abnormal firing of nerve cells that can lead to seizures.
• Suppressing seizure impulses: By stabilising electrical activity, levetiracetam effectively suppresses seizure impulses, preventing them from spreading across your brain.
• Extended-release formulation: The extended-release formulation of this tablet ensures a steady level of this medicine in your body throughout the day with just a single dose.
