LEVERA 100MG INJECTION 5ML is an anti-convulsant medicine used in the treatment of epilepsy. Epilepsy is a serious condition in which patients get more than two unprovoked seizures (fits/convulsions). LEVERA 100MG INJECTION 5ML is used in the treatment of Partial Onset Seizures (a condition affecting a single area of the brain, mainly the temporal lobes), Myoclonic Seizures (sudden increase in the muscle tone due to shock-like jerks) in patients with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy, Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures.

LEVERA 100MG INJECTION 5ML contains Levetiracetam as an active ingredient. It works by slowing down the abnormal signals that the brain gives, leading to episodes of seizures. It helps by suppressing specific brain sites responsible for abnormal activity and prevents the spread of electrical signals that cause seizures.

LEVERA 100MG INJECTION 5ML is a parenteral medicine and will be administered intravenously as a 15-minute infusion by a healthcare professional. Hence, do not self-administer.
