Introduction of Levera Injection:
Levera Injection is an anti-epileptic medication used to treat seizures (fits) in epilepsy. It can be used alone or alongside other medications. It helps to prevent seizures for as long as you continue taking it.
Levera Injection is given as an infusion (slow drip) into a vein under the management of a healthcare professional. It is generally used for short-term control of seizures when treatment with oral medication isn't feasible (e.g., when the patient is unconscious). You should keep taking it for as long as your doctor has instructed you to, even if you feel well. If you stop or miss doses, your seizures could worsen. Your doctor is likely to prescribe you oral medications for long-term seizure control after treatment with this infusion has been completed.

Benefits of Levera Injection:
In Treatment of Epilepsy/Seizures:
Levera Injection belongs to a group of medications called anticonvulsants (or anti-epileptics). It works by slowing down electrical signals in the brain that cause seizures (fits). This medication can be used to control various types of seizures myoclonic, partial onset, and primary generalized tonic-clonic (or grand mal). It can also help reduce symptoms like confusion, uncontrolled jerking movements, loss of awareness, and fear or anxiety. The medication can allow you to engage in activities that you would otherwise be restricted or afraid to do (like swimming and driving). It can take a few weeks for this medication to work (because the dose must be increased slowly), and during this time, you might still have seizures. You should keep taking it even if you feel well and are not having any seizures. Missing doses may trigger a seizure. Do not stop using this medication until your doctor advises you.
Mechanism of action of Levera Injection:
Levera Injection is an antiepileptic drug. It works by attaching to specific sites (SV2A) on the surfaces of nerve cells. This suppresses the abnormal activity of the nerve cells in the brain and prevents the spread of electrical signals that cause seizures.
