What is levetiracetam?

Levetiracetam (generic Keppra) is a prescription drug used to treat certain types of seizures in children and adults. While levetiracetam can help control seizures, it is important to note that it is not a cure for the condition.

Doctors prescribe levetiracetam to treat 3 types of seizures:

1. Partial seizures for patients 1 month or older
2. Myoclonic seizures for patients 12 years of age and older with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (brief shock-like jerks of a muscle or group of muscles)
3. Tonic-clonic seizures (convulsions, loss of consciousness, stiffening of muscles) for patients 6 years of age and older with a group of epileptic disorders called Idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE).

The Epilepsy Foundation describes seizures as sudden surges in the electrical activity in the brain. Seizures are a common symptom of epilepsy, a neurological disease that affects more 3.4 million people in the United States.
