Product Introduction
LEVERON 500MG Tablet contains Levetiracetam, which works by altering the release of neurotransmitters and suppressing abnormal nerve impulses in the brain. It binds to a brain protein (SV2A) that helps regulate seizure-related electrical signals.
It is effective for various seizure types, including myoclonic, partial-onset, and tonic-clonic seizures. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and avoid self-adjusting the dose.

How It Works
Levetiracetam targets a specific brain protein called SV2A (synaptic vesicle protein 2A). By binding to this protein, it helps stabilize neurotransmitter release and prevents abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures. This action helps prevent seizures from occurring or spreading.
