Levipil 1g Tablet contains levetiracetam (1000 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Attachment to Specific Site: Levetiracetam attaches itself to a particular site (SV2A) on nerve cells in your brain. This attachment plays a critical role in suppressing abnormal electrical activity that leads to seizures.

• Modulation of Neurotransmitters: By influencing the release of neurotransmitters, levetiracetam helps prevent the spread of seizure activity across different parts of your brain without disrupting normal neurological function. This means it assists in managing seizure activity while ensuring other brain functions remain unaffected.
