Levera Rtu 1000 Infusion

Product introduction
Levera Rtu 1000 Infusion is a medication used to manage epilepsy by controlling and preventing seizures. It can be given alone or alongside other anti-seizure drugs. This medicine works as long as it is taken regularly and continuously.

Levera Rtu 1000 Infusion is administered through a slow drip directly into a vein by a healthcare professional. It is mainly used for short-term seizure control when oral medicines are not suitable, such as when a patient is unconscious or unable to swallow. Once the situation improves, your doctor may switch you to oral medication for long-term management. Stopping this medicine suddenly or missing doses may cause seizures to return or worsen, so it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

Some common side effects that may occur include sleepiness, dizziness, headache, reduced appetite, fatigue, throat irritation, aggression, and behavioral changes. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, often improving as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if you experience a skin rash, allergic reaction, severe mood changes, confusion, or thoughts of harming yourself, seek medical help immediately.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, depression, suicidal thoughts, or if you are pregnant or planning to conceive. Alcohol should be avoided as it can increase side effects such as drowsiness and may also trigger seizures. Since this medicine may cause dizziness or sleepiness, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Your doctor may also monitor your kidney function regularly during treatment.
