Jitolevtam 500

Jitolevtam 500 contains Levetiracetam, an anti-epileptic medicine. Neurologists prescribe it to control different types of seizures in adults and children.

• Partial onset seizures
• Generalised tonic-clonic seizures
• Myoclonic seizures in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
• Add-on therapy for difficult-to-control epilepsy

Levetiracetam binds to a protein called SV2A on nerve endings in the brain. This modulates the release of chemical messengers and reduces the abnormal electrical bursts that cause seizures, helping prevent epileptic attacks.

Take as prescribed by your doctor, swallowed whole with water. Try to take it at the same times each day. Do not stop suddenly, as this can trigger seizures.

• Drowsiness or tiredness
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Mood changes, irritability
• Weakness or stuffy nose

Inform your doctor of kidney problems, depression or mood disorders, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Avoid driving until you know how it affects you. Report any unusual mood or behaviour changes.

Store below 30°C in a cool dry place, away from light and moisture. Keep in original strip. Keep out of reach of children.
