Levroxa 500mg Tablet 10 contains levetiracetam (500 mg), which acts on the body as follows:

• Binding to Specific Site: Levetiracetam attaches itself to a specific site on voltage-gated calcium channels in your brain. By binding this way, levetiracetam helps manage the release of neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that transmit signals in the brain. The overall result is reduced abnormal electrical activity that leads to seizures.

• Inhibiting Epileptiform Burst Firing: Levetiracetam selectively inhibits what is called 'epileptiform burst firing'. This means it helps prevent rapid, repeated firing of neurons, which can cause a seizure.

• Preventing Seizure Propagation: Levetiracetam also prevents the spread of seizure activity within the brain, thereby effectively managing generalised seizures.

• Keep Levroxa 500mg Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.
