About Torleva XR 1000 Tablet 10's

Torleva XR 1000 Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medications known as 'anti-convulsant' primarily used to treat seizures (fits) due to epilepsy. Epilepsy is a chronic condition where the patients have repeated fits (convulsions). Torleva XR 1000 Tablet 10's 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.

Torleva XR 1000 Tablet 10's contains Levetiracetam, used in combination or alone for treating symptoms of epilepsy. It works by slowing down the abnormal signals which the brain gives, leading to episodes of 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 Torleva XR 1000 Tablet 10's as prescribed. Your doctor will decide how often you should take Torleva XR 1000 Tablet 10's based on your medical condition.
