Levetiracetam Stada

Levetiracetam, the active ingredient in Levetiracetam Stada, is an anticonvulsant presented as an oral dosage form for oral use. It is employed to control various types of epileptic seizures in patients requiring seizure management.

GNH USA supplies Levetiracetam Stada as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic drug that modulates neuronal excitability to reduce seizure activity. - Partial seizures: helps achieve seizure freedom or reduction in frequency. - Generalized tonic‑clonic seizures: contributes to control of convulsive episodes. - Myoclonic seizures: assists in decreasing rapid, involuntary muscle jerks.

Levetiracetam may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild to moderate in severity.

Common Side Effects: - Drowsiness: feeling unusually sleepy or fatigued. - Dizziness: sensation of light‑headedness or unsteadiness. - Headache: mild to moderate cranial pain. - Irritability: increased mood swings or agitation. - Nausea: feeling of stomach upset or urge to vomit. - Nasal congestion: blocked or runny nose.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. - Mood changes: depression, suicidal thoughts, or aggressive behavior. - Blood disorders: signs of anemia or low platelet count. - Liver function abnormalities: elevated liver enzymes. - Skin reactions: Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis.

Before initiating therapy, consider patient‑specific factors and monitor for potential risks. - Renal impairment: adjust dosing based on kidney function. - Hepatic disease: use with caution; monitor liver enzymes. - Psychiatric history: observe for mood alterations or suicidal ideation. - Concomitant CNS depressants: may enhance sedation. - Pregnancy and lactation: evaluate risk‑benefit ratio with prescriber. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in original packaging, protect from moisture.

Levetiracetam can interact with other medicines, influencing efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Carbamazepine: may reduce levetiracetam plasma levels. - Phenobarbital: can lower levetiracetam concentrations.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Alcohol: may increase central nervous system depression. - Sedative antihistamines: can enhance drowsiness. - Other antiepileptics (e.g., valproate): monitor for additive side effects. - Oral contraceptives: possible reduction in hormonal efficacy. - Immunosuppressants: observe for altered drug levels.
