Description

Lerace Syrup
Active Ingredient: Levetiracetam
Lerace Syrup contains Levetiracetam, an anticonvulsant medication used to treat epilepsy. It is effective in managing type 2 seizures, also known as partial-onset seizures, with or without secondary generalization.
Mechanism of Action
Levetiracetam works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain. It binds to a specific protein (SV2A) in the brain, which helps reduce the spread of seizure activity. This action helps to prevent the abnormal bursts of electrical activity that cause seizures.
Uses
Partial-Onset Seizures: Lerace Syrup is used to treat partial-onset seizures, which are seizures that start in one part of the brain.
Secondary Generalization: It is also effective in treating seizures that begin as partial-onset but then spread to other parts of the brain.

The dosage of Lerace Syrup is determined by the healthcare provider based on the patient’s age, weight, and response to treatment. It is usually taken twice daily, with or without food. The syrup should be measured accurately using a dosing syringe or spoon.

Drowsiness
Dizziness

Kidney disease
Depression or other mood disorders

Conclusion
Lerace Syrup, containing Levetiracetam, is an effective medication for managing epilepsy and controlling type 2 seizures. By stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, it helps improve the quality of life for individuals with epilepsy. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when using this medication.
