Usage & Safety

For Adult

• Typical adult starting dose is 500 mg twice daily, equivalent to 5 mL twice daily.

• A commonly used starting regimen is approximately 10 mg/kg twice daily, with gradual adjustment according to response and tolerability.
• Common pediatric maintenance dosing may range up to approximately 30 mg/kg twice daily, depending on age, indication, kidney function, and specialist advice.
• Use an accurate oral syringe or measuring device; do not use a household spoon.

Side Effects

• Common effects include sleepiness, dizziness, fatigue, headache, weakness, and reduced appetite.
• Children may experience irritability, agitation, aggression, mood changes, or other behavioral problems.
• Serious reactions may include severe rash, blistering or peeling skin, facial swelling, breathing difficulty, severe confusion, hallucinations, or suicidal thoughts.
• Seek urgent medical attention for signs of a severe allergic or serious skin reaction.

Contraindications

• Do not use in patients with a known allergy or serious hypersensitivity to levetiracetam or any product component.
• Use cautiously in patients with kidney disease, depression, behavioral disorders, or a history of suicidal thoughts.
• Monitor for new or worsening irritability, aggression, agitation, depression, suicidal thoughts, or unusual behavior.
• Do not discontinue abruptly because seizure frequency may increase.

Precautions & Warnings

• Levetiracetam has relatively few clinically significant drug interactions, but the prescriber should review all medicines and supplements.
• Alcohol, sedatives, sleeping medicines, opioid analgesics, and other medicines that cause drowsiness may increase sedation and impaired alertness.
• Probenecid and some medicines affecting kidney function may alter levetiracetam exposure.
• Do not mix the dose with other medicines in the same container unless instructed by a pharmacist.

Pregnancy

• Use during pregnancy only when clearly prescribed after medical assessment of the benefits and risks.
• Patients who are pregnant or planning pregnancy should consult their specialist before changing or stopping treatment.
• Levetiracetam passes into breast milk; breastfeeding should be discussed with a healthcare professional, with monitoring of the infant for sleepiness, poor feeding, or irritability.
