Description:
Torleva 500 Tablet is an anti-epileptic medication used to manage and prevent seizures (fits) associated with epilepsy. It can be prescribed on its own or in combination with other anti-seizure medications. Torleva works by suppressing abnormal electrical activity in the brain, thereby helping to control seizures for as long as the treatment is continued.
This medicine can be taken with or without food, but it’s important to take it at the same time each day to maintain steady levels in your body. The dosage is tailored to your individual needs, depending on your condition and response to treatment, and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is typically recommended as a long-term therapy, and you should not stop taking it suddenly—even if you feel well—as this can cause your seizures to worsen.
Common side effects of Torleva 500 may include headache, sleepiness, irritability, changes in behavior, aggressive tendencies, and reduced appetite. These effects are more likely to occur during the initial weeks of treatment and often subside as your body adapts to the medicine. While most side effects are mild and don’t require medical attention, serious behavioral changes, such as thoughts of self-harm or suicide, should be reported to your doctor immediately.
Before starting Torleva, inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney issues, depression, or suicidal thoughts. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, make sure to discuss it with your healthcare provider. Regular monitoring, including kidney function tests, may be recommended while on this medication to ensure your safety.
