Tiralepsy 500 mg 30 tablets

Tiralepsy 500 mg 30 tablets

Composition
Each tablet contains:
•  Levetiracetam — 500 mg

Pharmacological properties
Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic drug with a unique mechanism of action:
1. Modulates neuronal activity: binds to the SV2A protein in synaptic vesicles, which reduces excessive neuronal excitability.
2. Reduces the frequency of seizures: effective in partial and generalized forms of epilepsy.
3. Good tolerability: minimal interaction with other drugs, does not require titration of liver enzymes.

Indications for use
• Partial (focal) epileptic seizures, with or without secondary generalization
• Myoclonic seizures (especially in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy)
• Tonic-clonic generalized seizures.
