LIRCETAM 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.

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