Levipil Syrup 100ML is an anti-epileptic medication that contains Levetiracetam as its active ingredient. It belongs to a class of drugs known as anticonvulsants. This syrup is primarily used to treat various types of seizures (fits) associated with epilepsy in both adults and children.
The mechanism of action involves Levetiracetam binding to a specific protein called synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) on the surfaces of nerve cells in the brain. By modulating this protein, it helps to reduce the abnormal electrical activity that triggers seizures and prevents the widespread dissemination of these electrical signals. Essentially, it helps to stabilize brain activity.
Levipil Syrup is available in a 100ML bottle, typically requiring administration with a measuring cup. It can be taken with or without food, but it’s generally recommended to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in the body and maximize its effectiveness. The dosage is highly individualized and determined by a doctor based on the patient’s age, weight, condition, and response to the medication. It is often prescribed as a long-term treatment to help control seizures and improve the patient’s quality of life, allowing them to engage in activities that might otherwise be restricted due to their condition.
Common side effects can include sleepiness, dizziness, fatigue, headache, decreased appetite, and behavioral changes such as irritation, aggression, or anxiety. More serious side effects, though rare, can include suicidal thoughts or severe mental changes. It is crucial to inform a doctor about any pre-existing conditions, allergies, or other medications being taken, especially kidney or liver problems, depression, or a history of suicidal thoughts. Abruptly stopping Levipil Syrup can worsen seizures and is not recommended without medical advice.
