Levera Rtu 500 Infusion 1*100ml

Product Introduction
Levera Rtu 500 Infusion is a medicine used to manage epilepsy by controlling seizures (fits). It can be prescribed alone or in combination with other anti-epileptic drugs. This medication helps in preventing seizures as long as it is continued under a doctor’s guidance.

It is administered through a slow intravenous drip by a healthcare professional. This form of treatment is generally given for short-term seizure control, especially when oral medications cannot be used, such as when a patient is unconscious. After the condition is stabilized, your doctor may shift you to oral medicines for long-term seizure management. It’s important to keep taking this medication for as long as your doctor recommends because stopping suddenly or skipping doses may worsen seizures.

Some people may experience side effects like headache, dizziness, sleepiness, loss of appetite, agitation, behavioral changes, aggression, irritation, or throat and nasal passage inflammation. These side effects are more noticeable during the initial days of treatment and tend to improve as the body adjusts to the drug. However, some side effects may be serious. If you notice symptoms like rash, allergic reactions (itching, swelling, breathing difficulties), confusion, memory issues, or extreme mood changes, inform your doctor immediately. A few patients may also have thoughts of harming themselves, and this should be reported right away.

Before starting this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any kidney issues, depression, suicidal thoughts, or if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Avoid alcohol as it may increase side effects such as dizziness and drowsiness and can also raise the risk of seizures. Since the medicine can affect alertness, be cautious while driving or operating machinery. Kidney function may need to be monitored regularly during the course of treatment.

Benefits of Levera Rtu 500 Infusion
Levera Rtu 500 Infusion belongs to a group of drugs called anticonvulsants. It works by slowing down the abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures. It is effective in controlling various seizure types such as partial-onset, myoclonic, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. By reducing seizure episodes, it helps in improving quality of life and allows individuals to engage in activities like swimming or driving with more confidence. The medicine usually takes a few weeks to show full effects, as the dose is increased gradually. It’s important to continue using it consistently even if you feel well, as missing doses can trigger seizures.
