Is it safe for me to get the Covid-19 vaccine and what are the possible side effects, since I take Levera 750 twice a day for seizures but have been seizure-free since November 2018?
Yes, it is safe and highly recommended for you to get the COVID-19 vaccine. There is no known interaction between the vaccine and your medication, Levera (levetiracetam). Common vaccine side effects are mild and include soreness at the injection site, fatigue, headache, mild fever, or muscle aches, typically resolving in a few days. Since a fever can occasionally lower the seizure threshold, you can manage any post-vaccine fever with paracetamol. Please consult your doctor for personalized advice before scheduling your dose.
