About Levilex Oral Solution
Levilex Oral Solution is used to treat seizures (fits) due to epilepsy. Epilepsy is a chronic condition where patients have repeated fits (convulsions). It is mainly used for fits that affect only one side of the brain, but could extend to larger areas on both sides of the brain.
Levilex Oral Solution 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.
Not everyone who is taking Levilex Oral Solution will get these side effects. In some cases, you may experience daytime drowsiness, disturbed sleep, light-headedness, dizziness, sleepiness, general weakness, and unexplained infections. Most of these side effects of Levilex Oral Solution do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please reach out to your doctor.
Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsens.
Before taking Levilex Oral Solution , tell your doctor if you are allergic to it or any other ingredients. Inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney disease, lung disease, muscle weakness (myasthenia gravis), difficulty sleeping, or severe liver disease. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. Suddenly stopping Levilex Oral Solution can cause withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, increased heart rate, tremors, or general unwell feeling. Suicidal thoughts or actions can be caused in some patients taking Levilex Oral Solution , so pay attention to any sudden change in mood swings, behavior, or feeling.
