Levesam Oral Solution is taken orally.

Levesam Oral Solution contains Levetiracetam (500mg) which works in the body through the following mechanisms:

• Binding to SV2A: Levetiracetam selectively binds to a protein named synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) present in your brain. This protein plays a role in releasing neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles within neurons.

• Impeding nerve impulses: By attaching itself to SV2A, Levetiracetam works towards blocking nerve impulses that cause seizures. It slows down excessive nerve activity in the brain.

• Preventing the spread of seizure activity: By stabilising electrical activity in the brain, Levetiracetam helps prevent seizure activity from spreading across different parts of your brain.

• Store Levesam Oral Solution in a tightly closed container at room temperature not exceeding 25°C.

• Keep it away from light and moisture; avoid storing it in the bathroom.

• Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach of children.

• Since you're managing epilepsy with Levesam Oral Solution, endeavour to follow a balanced diet, including adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals. This can support overall brain health and seizure management.

• Regular physical activity is beneficial but avoid strenuous workouts or activities that could potentially lead to injury in case of a seizure. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
