Levera Xr 500 Tablet 10

Levera XR-500 Tablet is used for the long-term management of partial-onset seizures in adults and children over 12 years, and as adjunctive therapy to control myoclonic and generalised tonic-clonic seizures in epilepsy.

Uses of Levera XR-500 Tablet are:

• Partial-Onset Seizures: Helps control seizures affecting one part of the brain.
• Myoclonic Seizures: Helps control sudden, brief muscle jerks.
• Generalised Tonic-Clonic Seizures: Helps control seizures affecting the whole brain.
• Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy: Used as adjunctive therapy in the management of this specific form of epilepsy.

Here's how you should use Levera XR-500 Tablet:

• Take the tablet with a glass of water.

• Do not crush or chew the tablet; swallow it whole.

• The medicine can be taken with or without food, as advised by your doctor.

• Never take more than the recommended dose without consulting your doctor.

• Remember not to stop taking this medicine without speaking to your doctor first.

Levera XR-500 Tablet is taken orally.

Levera XR-500 Tablet contains one active ingredient: levetiracetam (500 mg). Here’s how it works in your body:

• Binds to SV2A site: Levetiracetam binds to a specific site named SV2A on synaptic vesicles in your brain. This action helps modulate the release of neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that transmit signals in the brain.

• Controls abnormal neuronal activity: By binding to SV2A, it suppresses the abnormal neuronal activity in the brain that leads to seizures.

• Inhibits calcium channels: It's thought that levetiracetam selectively inhibits voltage-dependent N-type calcium channels. These channels play a crucial role in triggering electrical impulses that can lead to seizures.

• Reverses inhibitory effects: The medicine also has the potential to reverse the inhibitory effect of negative allosteric modulators of GABA and glycine-gated currents. This action contributes to controlling abnormal electrical activity.

• Controls calcium release: Levetiracetam is also thought to inhibit the release of calcium from intraneuronal stores, another factor that can contribute to seizures.

  
  By regulating these processes, Levera XR-500 Tablet helps reduce the spread and frequency of seizures in individuals with epilepsy.
