How Levetiracetam Works
Keppra contains an active ingredient called Levetiracetam, which is used to treat and prevent seizures associated with epilepsy. Levetiracetam does not cure epilepsy; it only treats it by controlling the seizures. Its main function is to affect the transmission of nerve signal to the brain thus preventing seizures. Levetiracetam is to be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
