What is Levetiracetam used for?

Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic drug that acts on neuronal excitability to control seizure activity.

Partial-onset seizures: Reduces frequency and severity of focal seizures. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures: Helps prevent convulsive seizure episodes. Myoclonic seizures: Controls sudden, brief muscle jerks associated with myoclonic epilepsy.
