    Overdose

    With an overdose of Keppra, drowsiness, agitation, aggression, respiratory depression, depression of consciousness, and coma were observed.
    In case of acute overdose, it is necessary to wash the stomach or induce vomiting. There is no specific antidote for levetiracetam. If necessary, carry out symptomatic treatment, including with the use of hemodialysis (60% of levetiracetam and 74% of the main metabolite are excreted).

    Side effects

    The most commonly reported adverse reactions were nasopharyngitis, drowsiness, headache, fatigue and dizziness.

    Interaction

    In some cases, a decrease in the effectiveness of levetiracetam has been reported with the simultaneous use of the osmotic laxative macrogol with oral levetiracetam. Therefore, macrogol should not be taken orally within one hour before and within one hour after taking levetiracetam.
    The degree of absorption of levetiracetam does not depend on food, but the absorption rate is slightly reduced when taken with food. There are no data on the interaction of levetiracetam with alcohol.

    Storage conditions

    Store in original packaging at temperatures not exceeding 25°C.
    Keep out of the reach of children.
