Levigress 250 Tablet

Levigress 250 Tablet is a prescription anti-convulsant medicine that contains levetiracetam 250 mg in each tablet. It is used to help control certain types of seizures in adults and children when a doctor has decided it is appropriate. Levigress 250 Tablet is a tablet dosage form made by La Renon Healthcare and is commonly used as part of an ongoing seizure treatment plan. It does not cure epilepsy, but it can reduce seizure frequency when taken as directed.

How it works: Levetiracetam helps calm overactive nerve signals in the brain that can trigger seizures. In tablet form, Levigress 250 Tablet is swallowed whole and absorbed into the body to help keep seizure activity under better control.

Levigress 250 Tablet is the lower-strength tablet in this product line compared with Levigress 500 Tablet, so it can be helpful when a doctor wants smaller dose adjustments or a more gradual titration. This strength may suit people who need a carefully tailored total daily dose, especially when starting treatment, adjusting therapy, or matching a child’s or adult’s prescribed dose more precisely. Your doctor chooses the tablet strength and schedule based on seizure type, age, response, and kidney function.

• Adjunct treatment for partial-onset seizures
• Treatment of myoclonic seizures
• Treatment of generalized tonic-clonic seizures
• Seizure control in epilepsy
• Dose tailoring when a smaller tablet strength is needed

• Swallow Levigress 250 Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it at the same times each day to keep a steady level in your body.
• You can usually take it with or without food; taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not crush or split the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor says the specific tablet can be divided.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• Do not stop Levigress 250 Tablet suddenly, because stopping quickly may raise seizure risk.

Each Levigress 250 Tablet provides levetiracetam 250 mg per tablet. Depending on the condition being treated and the person’s response, it may be taken once or twice daily; the exact schedule and maximum daily dose are set by the doctor, not the patient. Because this is a lower-strength tablet than Levigress 500 Tablet, it is often chosen to build doses gradually or to fine-tune a prescribed total daily amount.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
