It works for different types of fits and helps reduce symptoms like jerking movements, loss of awareness, or unusual sensations.

Levipil 500 Tablet contains levetiracetam (500 mg) which works on your body as follows:
Synaptic Vesicle 2A Protein Ligand Binding: Levetiracetam attaches to specific sites known as SV2A on the surfaces of nerve cells in your brain. These sites are involved in releasing chemicals that allow nerve cells in our brain to communicate with each other.
Suppression of Abnormal Electrical Activity: By binding to these SV2A sites, levetiracetam effectively suppresses the abnormal electrical activity within these nerve cells. This prevents the spread of electrical signals that trigger seizures, thus helping to manage epilepsy symptoms.
