He has reduced tab as morning two tab and evening one and half since three months.again he had seizures.is is because of reduction in medicine.now he is on IV with levipill. How will he stabilise?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Level (levetiracetam) is a safe medicine for treating epilepsy. His current dose of 500 mg two tablets- 1000 mg twice daily is safe. There is no need to reduce the dose, as dose reduction may cause seizures to recur. Epilepsy is a chronic disease, and needs long-term medications.  There is no need to worry about his current condition, as he would recover soon. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
