Levipil 750 mg Tablet

Levipil 750 mg Tablet is a prescription anti-convulsant medicine that contains 750 mg of levetiracetam in each tablet. It is used to help control certain types of seizures in people with epilepsy. Levipil 750 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and may be used alone or with other anti-seizure medicines, depending on the condition being treated.

How it works: Levetiracetam helps calm overactive electrical activity in the brain that can trigger seizures. In tablet form, Levipil 750 mg Tablet delivers a measured oral dose that is absorbed after swallowing and then works throughout the body to help reduce seizure frequency.

Levipil 750 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet than Levipil 250 mg Tablet and Levipil 500 mg Tablet, so it is usually chosen when a doctor wants a larger dose in fewer tablets. It can also be easier for people who are already stabilized on levetiracetam and need a maintenance dose that matches their prescribed regimen. It is not the usual starting strength for every patient, so your doctor will decide whether this 750 mg tablet is the right fit.

The number of tablets you take, how often you take them, and the maximum daily amount depend on your age, kidney function, seizure type, and response to treatment; your doctor sets the dose for you.
