Levetranol-500 Tablet
Description
Levetranol 500mg Tablet is a medicine used to treat epilepsy, a condition that causes seizures or fits. It contains levetiracetam, which helps prevent seizures and keeps them under control. Levetranol 500mg Tablet can be used alone or alongside other anti-seizure medications, depending on your doctor’s advice. Taking it regularly helps maintain a steady level of medicine in the body, reducing the frequency and severity of seizures.
Levetiracetam in Levetranol 500mg Tablet works by calming overactive electrical activity in the brain, which is responsible for triggering seizures. This action helps protect your brain and reduces the risk of sudden fits, improving overall safety and quality of life. Regular use as prescribed is essential for effective seizure control.

Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Some medicines can affect the way Levetranol Tablet works, or this medicine itself can reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
- Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, or herbals you are currently taking or might take to avoid any possible interaction.
- It has been observed that taking levetiracetam and methotrexate together reduces methotrexate clearance, resulting in higher/longer blood methotrexate concentrations that are potentially hazardous.
- Co-administration of levetiracetam and a laxative called macrogol may decrease the efficacy of levetiracetam. Hence, use macrogol one hour before or after using levetiracetam.
Interactions with food items
- Avoid alcohol, as it can increase drowsiness and reduce seizure control.
- Eat regular, balanced meals to maintain overall health and stable energy levels.
