Levipil (Levetiracetam) 500 mg Tablets are an antiepileptic medication used to treat and manage different types of seizures in individuals with epilepsy. Levetiracetam works by modulating nerve signals in the brain to prevent abnormal electrical activity that leads to seizures. It is commonly prescribed for partial-onset seizures, myoclonic seizures, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Suitable for both adults and children (above a certain age), Levipil can be used as monotherapy or as an adjunct to other anti-seizure medications.

• Helps control various types of seizures

• Can be used alone or alongside other anticonvulsants
