What Is The Use Of Keppra?
Our son had what he called convulsions of his left arm. He had a stroke a year ago with a blood clot in the carotid artery. (still there) The MRI was negative and he is waiting for the results of the EEG. They want to start him on Keppra. What is this medication and why is it used.
