Levacetam Syrup 1*100ML

Levacetam Syrup is used to treat seizures (fits) associated with epilepsy, a chronic condition characterized by repeated convulsions. It is primarily used for partial-onset seizures but can also help control seizures affecting larger areas of the brain.

How It Works
Levacetam Syrup contains Levetiracetam, which slows down abnormal electrical signals in the brain that cause seizures. It targets specific brain sites responsible for abnormal activity, preventing the spread of seizure-causing signals. While it reduces seizure episodes, it does not cure epilepsy.
