Uses of Recetem 500mg Tablet

How Recetem 500mg Tablet 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.

- 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.
