About this product
Overview
Episaf 500mg Tablet 30s contains Levetiracetam (500mg). It comes as a tablet.
Levetiracetam is an anti-epileptic medicine used to control seizures. It is often chosen because it has relatively few interactions with other medicines, and comes as tablets, syrup and injection.

- Used alone or alongside other anti-epileptic medicines
Side Effects
Like all medicines, Episaf 500mg Tablet 30s can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common ones include:

Precautions
Never stop levetiracetam suddenly, as this can trigger seizures – any change is made gradually by your doctor. Tell your doctor if you notice low mood, unusual anger or changes in behaviour. Take it at the same times each day so the level in the body stays steady, and do not miss doses.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
