Keppra contains 500mg Levetiracetam which is an antiepileptic medicine (a medicine used to treat seizures in epilepsy). Keppra is used: •on its own in adults and adolescents from 16 years of age with newly diagnosed epilepsy, to treat a certain form of epilepsy. Epilepsy is a condition where the patients have repeated fits (seizures). Levetiracetam is used for the epilepsy form in which the fits initially affect only one side of the brain, but could thereafter extend to larger areas on both sides of the brain (partial onset seizure with or without secondary generalisation). Levetiracetam has been given to you by your doctor to reduce the number of fits.•as an add-on to other antiepileptic medicines to treat:partial onset seizures with or without generalisation in adults, adolescents, children and infants from one month of age; myoclonic seizures (short, shock-like jerks of a muscle or group of muscles) in adults and adolescents from 16 years of age with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy; primary generalised tonic-clonic seizures (major fits, including loss of consciousness) in adults and adolescents from 16 years of age with idiopathic generalised epilepsy (the type of epilepsy that is thought to have a genetic cause). Initiate treatment with a daily dose of 1000 mg/day, given as twice-daily dosing (500 mg twice daily). Additional dosing increments may be given (1000 mg/day additional every 2 weeks) to a maximum recommended daily dose of 3000 mg. There is no evidence that doses greater than 3000 mg/day confer additional benefit.
