Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Your son had a seizure episode and was put on levipil 500 (Levetiracetam). This medication is an anticonvulsant, prescribed for partial seizures. It works by reducing the activity in the brain. It can be used alone or with other antiepileptic medications.
You should not discontinue or change dosage of this medication without asking doctor.
Hope this helps
