Kivotam-500
Description_Effects
Kivotam-500 contains Levetiracetam, an anticonvulsant medication used to control and prevent seizures in people with epilepsy. It works by calming abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures, helping to reduce their frequency and severity. This medicine is effective for treating various types of seizures, including myoclonic seizures, partial-onset seizures, and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (also known as grand mal seizures). Levetiracetam also helps lessen symptoms associated with seizures such as confusion, uncontrollable jerking movements, loss of awareness, and anxiety. By controlling seizures, it enables patients to carry on with daily activities like swimming, driving, and working, which might otherwise be unsafe during uncontrolled seizures. It is important to understand that Kivotam-500 may take a few weeks to reach its full effect because the dose is gradually increased to reduce side effects. During this time, seizures may still occur, so consistent medication intake is crucial. Missing doses can trigger seizures, so it should be taken exactly as prescribed without abrupt discontinuation. Always consult your doctor before stopping this medicine. With regular use, Kivotam-500 helps improve seizure control and enhances quality of life for people living with epilepsy.
