Epitira 750 Tablet 10 contains levetiracetam (750 mg), which works in the body as follows:

• Binding to SV2A: Levetiracetam binds to a specific site known as SV2A on a protein called synaptic vesicle protein 2A, which plays a role in neurotransmitter release.

• Suppressing abnormal electrical activity: By modulating this protein, levetiracetam helps suppress abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures.

• Store Epitira 750 Tablet 10 at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Keep the tablets out of the reach of children.

• Always check and ensure that you use the tablet before its expiration date.

• Regular physical activity is beneficial in managing epilepsy, as it helps reduce stress, enhances mood, and promotes better sleep, all of which can reduce seizure frequency. Consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.

• Limit your intake of caffeine and alcohol. Both substances can interact with Epitira 750 Tablet 10 and potentially increase the frequency of seizures. Try to switch to decaffeinated beverages and limit alcohol consumption.
