Levera XR 1000 Tablet

Product Overview
Levera XR 1000 Tablet is a medication used to control epilepsy and prevent seizures (fits). It can be prescribed on its own or alongside other anti-epileptic medicines. By helping to stabilize the brain’s electrical activity, it reduces the chances of seizures as long as you continue taking it regularly.

This medicine works by calming the abnormal signals in the brain. It can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time every day for maximum benefit. Your dosage will be decided by your doctor based on your condition and response to the treatment. It is usually recommended for long-term use, and stopping it suddenly or missing doses may trigger seizures, so continue as advised even if you start feeling better.

Some commonly observed side effects include drowsiness, headache, irritability, changes in mood or behavior, loss of appetite, and fatigue. These effects are usually more noticeable in the early stages of treatment and may gradually subside as your body adjusts. In rare cases, it can cause severe mood changes or suicidal thoughts, so inform your doctor immediately if you notice any concerning changes in your mood or behavior.

If you have kidney problems, a history of depression, or suicidal tendencies, inform your doctor before starting this medicine. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor, as regular monitoring may be necessary.
