Lerace oral solution contains the active ingredient, Levetiracetam, which belongs to a class of medications called anticonvulsants. It is used to treat seizures in adults and children with epilepsy.
Levetiracetam works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain and reducing the risk of abnormal electrical activity that can lead to seizures.
Lerace oral solution is usually taken twice daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. The dosage is based on the patient's age, weight, and medical condition. It is important to take the medication at the same time(s) each day to maintain consistent levels in the body.
Possible side effects of Lerace oral solution may include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, mood changes, and nausea. These side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own over time. Serious side effects, such as severe allergic reactions, liver problems, or blood disorders, are rare but can occur.
It is important to inform the doctor of any other medications the patient is taking, as some medications can interact with Lerace and increase the risk of side effects. Lerace oral solution should be used with caution in patients with kidney problems, as the medication is excreted from the body through the kidneys. Regular monitoring of kidney function is recommended while taking this medication.
Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their doctor before taking Lerace oral solution, as the medication can pass into breast milk and harm the nursing infant.
