Uses of Lerace Injection 5ml

Lerace Injection 5ml is used to control seizures in epilepsy, either on its own or together with other anti-epileptic medicines. It is used for partial-onset seizures, myoclonic seizures in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, and primary generalised tonic-clonic seizures, in both adults and children.

How Lerace Injection 5ml works

Levetiracetam binds to a protein in nerve cells (SV2A) that controls the release of chemical messengers. This helps calm the excessive electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures.

Possible side effects

Common side effects of Lerace Injection 5ml include:

• Drowsiness or tiredness
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Irritability or mood changes
• Common cold symptoms

Contact your doctor straight away if you notice depression, aggression, unusual behaviour or thoughts of self-harm, or a severe skin rash.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not stop taking it suddenly, as this can trigger seizures; your doctor will reduce it gradually.
• Avoid driving until your seizures are controlled and you know how the medicine affects you.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease or a history of mood problems.
• If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, talk to your doctor before making any change.
