Epitra Syrup is used to treat seizures (fits) due to epilepsy. Epilepsy is a chronic condition where patients have repeated fits (convulsions). Epitra Syrup is used for the epilepsy form in which the fits affect only one side of the brain, but could extend to larger areas on both sides of the brain.

Epitra Syrup contains Levetiracetam, which works by slowing down the abnormal signals in the brain that cause seizures. It helps by suppressing specific brain sites responsible for abnormal activity and prevents the spread of electrical signals that cause seizures. It reduces the episodes of seizures but does not cure epilepsy.

Take Epitra Syrup as prescribed. Your doctor will decide how often you should take Epitra Syrup based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience daytime drowsiness, disturbed sleep, light-headedness, dizziness, sleepiness, general weakness, and unexplained infections. Most of the side effects of Epitra Syrup do not require medical attention and usually resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor.

Inform the doctor if you have kidney disease, lung disease, muscle weakness (myasthenia gravis), difficulty in sleeping (sleep apnoea), severe liver disease, or a problem with alcohol or other prescription drugs. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Epitra Syrup affects you, as its intake may cause dizziness or sleepiness. Suddenly stopping Epitra Syrup can cause withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, increased heart rate, tremors, or a general unwell feeling. Suicidal thoughts or actions can be caused in some patients taking Epitra Syrup , so pay attention to any sudden change in mood swings, behaviour, or feeling.
