Levetiracetam belongs to the class of medications called antiepileptics. It is used in combination with other seizure-control medications to treat and prevent seizures associated with Epilepsy. Levetiracetam does not cure epilepsy and only works to control seizures as long as the medication is taken. Levetiracetam works by affecting the transmission of nerve signals in the brain.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with Jamp Levetiracetam. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take.

There have been occasional reports of aggressive behaviour, anxiety, hostility, and mood swings in people with or without a history of having these problems.

Blood pressure: Children between the ages of 1 month and 4 years are at risk of developing high blood pressure while being treated with levetiracetam. Your child’s doctor will monitor this.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: People with uncontrolled epilepsy should not drive or handle potentially dangerous machinery. Levetiracetam may cause drowsiness or problems with muscle control. If you are taking Jamp Levetiracetam, do not participate in activities requiring mental alertness or physical coordination until you have determined how Jamp Levetiracetam affects you.
Hypersensitivity syndrome: A Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) called hypersensitivity syndrome has occurred for some people with the use of levetiracetam.
