Frequently asked questions

What is Levetiracetam Sandoz 100 Mg/Ml used for?+
Levetiracetam Sandoz 100 Mg/Ml is an intravenous antiepileptic medication used as adjunctive therapy for partial‑onset seizures and generalized tonic‑clonic seizures in patients with epilepsy who require additional seizure control.
How does levetiracetam work in the body?+
Levetiracetam binds to the synaptic vesicle protein SV2A, which modulates neurotransmitter release. This action stabilizes neuronal firing and reduces hyperexcitability, helping to prevent the spread of seizure activity across the brain.
What is the usual dose of Levetiracetam Sandoz 100 Mg/Ml?+
The specific dose and infusion rate are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, weight, renal function, and clinical response. Dosage should always follow the prescriber’s instructions.
