Livogrid Solution 100ml contains levetiracetam (100 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Synaptic vesicle protein binding: Levetiracetam attaches to a specific protein called SV2A (synaptic vesicle protein 2A) in your brain cells, which helps regulate the release of chemical messengers between nerve cells.

• Neurotransmitter modulation: By binding to SV2A, this medicine helps stabilise the release of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in your brain, preventing the excessive electrical activity that causes seizures.

• Brain signal stabilisation: Levetiracetam works by slowing down abnormal electrical signals in your brain that trigger seizures, helping to maintain normal brain function.

• Seizure threshold elevation: The medicine increases the threshold at which seizures can occur, making it less likely for your brain to experience the uncontrolled electrical activity that leads to epileptic episodes.

Follow these instructions while storing Livogrid Solution 100ml:

• Store this solution at a controlled room temperature between 20-25°C in a cool, dry place.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

• Protect from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Store safely out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Check the expiry date before use, and discard if expired.

• Maintain regular sleep patterns: Consistent sleep schedules help reduce the frequency of seizures. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, as sleep deprivation can trigger epileptic episodes.

• Avoid known seizure triggers: Common triggers include excessive alcohol consumption, flashing lights, and extreme stress. Identifying and managing your personal triggers can complement your medicine's effectiveness.
