Levera 250 Tablet

Product Introduction
Levera 250 Tablet is a medicine used for the management of epilepsy, a condition that causes recurring seizures or fits. It helps in controlling and preventing seizures by stabilizing the abnormal electrical activity in the brain. This medicine can be taken alone or in combination with other anti-epileptic medicines as advised by your doctor.

You may take this tablet with or without food, but try to take it at the same time every day to get the best results. The dosage will depend on your health condition, age, and response to the treatment. It is generally prescribed for long-term use to keep seizures under control. Do not stop taking it suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it may cause your seizures to return or worsen.

Some commonly observed side effects of this medicine include headache, drowsiness, irritability, decreased appetite, and changes in mood or behavior such as aggression. These side effects are usually mild and tend to reduce as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if you notice any severe symptoms, especially mood changes or thoughts of self-harm, inform your doctor immediately.

Before starting the treatment, inform your doctor about any history of kidney problems, depression, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Your doctor may suggest regular blood tests to monitor your kidney function during the treatment.

Benefits of Levera Tablet
Levera 250 Tablet belongs to a class of medicines known as anticonvulsants. It works by reducing the excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain, which is responsible for triggering seizures. This medicine is effective in treating different types of seizures, such as myoclonic, partial-onset, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. By controlling seizures, it helps improve quality of life and allows individuals to safely perform day-to-day activities like driving, swimming, or working without fear of sudden fits. It may take a few weeks before the full effect of the medicine is seen, as the dosage is usually increased gradually. Continue taking the medicine regularly, even if you are feeling better. Missing doses may increase the risk of a seizure episode.
