Keppra Side Effects
Drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, headache, loss of coordination (e.g., difficulty walking, muscle control) may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor. Tell your doctor immediately if you have any of these serious side effects: mental/mood changes, unusual weakness (e.g., anemia), vision problems. In most patients, if side effects occur with KEPPRA, they usually occur in the first month of treatment. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
How To Use Keppra
KEPPRA: Take KEPPRA by mouth, usually twice daily; or take as directed by your doctor. KEPPRA may be taken with or without food. Levetiracetam is best taken at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day to ensure a constant level of drug in the body. Do not take KEPPRA more often or increase your dose without consulting your doctor. Do not stop taking KEPPRA suddenly without your doctor's approval since seizures may reoccur. If KEPPRA does not control your seizures, notify your doctor.
Keppra Uses
KEPPRA is used in combination with other medications to treat seizures disorders (epilepsy).
Keppra Precautions
Tell your doctor your medical history, including any allergies, kidney disease, blood disorders (anemia), depression, or recent seizures. KEPPRA may make you dizzy or drowsy, especially during the first month of treatment. Use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery. Limit alcoholic beverages. Caution is advised when using KEPPRA in the elderly because they may be more sensitive to the effects of KEPPRA. KEPPRA should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. It is not known whether KEPPRA passes into breast milk. Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding while using KEPPRA is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
