Hi,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Keppra can be used as a monotherapy as well as an adjunct to other anticonvulsants(more common use).It is usually initiated at a dose of 500mg twice daily in addults,and dose increased if needed at 2 weeks intervals.It is not started at full dose.
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
