Description:
Levipil 500 Tablet is an anti-epileptic medication used to manage and prevent seizures (fits) in individuals with epilepsy. It can be prescribed as a standalone treatment or in combination with other antiepileptic drugs. The tablet works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, thereby reducing the frequency and severity of seizures.
Levipil 500 can be taken with or without food, but it’s important to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in the body. The exact dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by your doctor based on your specific condition and response to the medication. It is typically prescribed as a long-term therapy, and sudden discontinuation should be avoided as it may worsen seizures.
Common side effects of Levipil 500 include headache, drowsiness, irritability, decreased appetite, sleepiness, behavioral changes, and aggressive behavior. These side effects are more common in the initial weeks of treatment and usually subside as your body adjusts to the medicine. In rare cases, patients may experience mood changes or have thoughts of self-harm. If this occurs, medical attention should be sought immediately.
Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any kidney issues, a history of depression, suicidal thoughts, or if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Your doctor may recommend routine blood tests to monitor kidney function during treatment with Levipil 500.
