Levipil 500 Tablet

Product introduction

Levipil 500 Tablet is an anti-epileptic medicine used to treat seizures (fits) in epilepsy. It can be prescribed alone or along with other medicines to help prevent seizures for as long as you continue taking it.
Levipil 500 Tablet works by suppressing abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day for maximum benefit. The dose depends on your condition and response to the medicine. Since epilepsy usually requires long-term treatment, you should continue taking it as advised by your doctor, even if you feel well. Stopping suddenly or missing doses may worsen seizures.
Some common side effects include headache, sleepiness, dizziness, irritation, decreased appetite, and behavioral changes. These are usually mild and improve as your body adjusts. However, in rare cases, people may experience mood changes, depression, or suicidal thoughts—seek medical advice immediately if this happens.
Inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, depression, or suicidal tendencies, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests during treatment.

Benefits of Levipil Tablet

In Treatment of Epilepsy/Seizures
Levipil 500 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called anticonvulsants. It works by reducing abnormal brain activity that causes seizures. It is effective in controlling different types of seizures including:

• Myoclonic seizures

• Partial-onset seizures

• Primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures
  By controlling seizures, it helps reduce associated symptoms like confusion, jerking movements, and loss of awareness. It may also enable patients to safely resume normal activities such as swimming or driving once permitted by the doctor.
  Since the dose is increased gradually, it may take a few weeks before full benefits are seen. Continue taking it regularly to avoid seizure recurrence.
