Levizen 100mg Oral Solution is used to treat seizures (fits) due to epilepsy. It 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. It contains Levetiracetam, which works by slowing down the abnormal signals in the brain which 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. In some cases, you may experience side effects such as daytime drowsiness, disturbed sleep, light-headedness, dizziness, sleepiness, general weakness, and unexplained infections. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
