Levetiracetam ER 750 mg is an extended-release tablet containing 750 milligrams of levetiracetam, an anti-seizure medication. It’s designed to provide a consistent level of the drug in your bloodstream over a longer period, typically 24 hours, compared to immediate-release formulations. This helps manage seizures more effectively throughout the day.
How it Works
Levetiracetam works by affecting the release of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, helping to prevent or reduce the occurrence of seizures. The extended-release form ensures a more stable drug concentration, minimizing fluctuations that might trigger seizures.
Important Considerations
Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely regarding dosage and administration. Side effects can include drowsiness, dizziness, and fatigue. Report any significant side effects to your physician immediately. This medication interacts with other drugs; inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking. Do not stop taking levetiracetam suddenly without consulting your doctor. Pregnancy and breastfeeding considerations should also be discussed with your doctor before beginning this medication.
