Levipil XR 500 Tablet is taken orally.

Levipil XR 500 Tablet contains levetiracetam (500 mg), which performs a number of actions on the body:

• SV2A Binding: Levetiracetam selectively binds to SV2A, a specific synaptic vesicle glycoprotein found at nerve endings inside your brain.

• Seizure Control: By binding to SV2A, levetiracetam suppresses abnormal electrical activity in overactive neurons within the brain, thereby managing seizures effectively.

• Sustained Release: The extended-release formulation of Levipil XR 500 means that levetiracetam is slowly released into the body over time. This maintains steady therapeutic levels of the medicine in your system.

• Keep the Levipil XR 500 Tablet in a cool, dry place at room temperature, ideally between 15-30°C.

• Protect from direct heat and moisture.

• Ensure the medication is kept out of reach of children and pets.

• Always check the expiration date before use; do not consume expired medication.

• If you're prescribed Levipil XR 500 Tablet, try to maintain a balanced diet. A well-rounded diet can help keep your body healthy and potentially minimise the likelihood of seizures.

• Regular physical activity may also help manage epilepsy. However, it's important to consult your doctor for specific activities suitable for your condition. Always ensure safety measures are in place during any physical activity.
