Torleva 1000 Tablet (Levetiracetam 1000mg)

TORLEVA 1000 MG TABLET belongs to a group of medications known as ‘anti-convulsant’ primarily used to treat seizures (fits) due to epilepsy. Epilepsy is a chronic condition where the patients have repeated fits (convulsions). TORLEVA 1000MG TABLET is used for the epilepsy form in which the fits affect only one side of the brain, but could extend to larger areas on both sides of the brain.

TORLEVA 1000MG TABLET contains Levetiracetam, used in combination or alone for treating symptoms of epilepsy. It works by slowing down the abnormal signals which the brain gives, leading to episodes of seizures. It helps by suppressing specific brain sites responsible for abnormal activity and prevents the spread of electrical signals that cause seizures. It reduces the episodes of seizures but does not cure epilepsy.
