Swelling, scarring, or blood near the brain can also trigger seizures. Doctors usually prescribe anti-seizure medicine for a period after surgery to prevent them. Follow-up with a neurologist is important to control seizures and monitor recovery.

If you have had seizures while taking Levera 500 mg, it means your current dose may not be enough or your epilepsy may need a different approach.

While Levera 500 (levetiracetam) is helping manage your seizures, it is important to share these blood pressure readings with your neurologist.
