About LEVESAM INJECTION 5ML
LEVESAM INJECTION 5ML is used in the treatment of epilepsy, partial onset seizures (a condition affecting a single area of the brain, mainly the temporal lobes), myoclonic seizures (sudden increase in the muscle tone due to shock-like jerks), and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Epilepsy is a serious condition in which patients get more than two unprovoked seizures (fits/convulsions).
LEVESAM INJECTION 5ML contains levetiracetam, which works by slowing down the abnormal signals in the brain that cause episodes of seizures. It helps by suppressing specific brain sites responsible for abnormal activity and prevents the spread of electrical signals that cause seizures.
LEVESAM INJECTION 5ML may cause certain side effects such as drowsiness, disturbed sleep, light-headedness, dizziness, sleepiness, general weakness, and injection site reactions. Most of these side effects of LEVESAM INJECTION 5ML do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please reach out to your doctor.
LEVESAM INJECTION 5ML is a parenteral medicine and will be administered intravenously as a 15-minute infusion by a healthcare professional. Hence, do not self-administer. Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration of LEVESAM INJECTION 5ML based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
LEVESAM INJECTION 5ML is not recommended for use if allergic to it. Inform your doctor if you have any conditions like severe liver/kidney disease, lung disease and myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness). Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should inform the doctor before receiving LEVESAM INJECTION 5ML. Avoid driving vehicles or operating machines that require concentration, as LEVESAM INJECTION 5ML may cause dizziness.
