Would Kepra, Hydrocodone And Xanax Cause Aneurysm?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is unfortunate to note that your wife passed away due to rupture of brain aneurysm and brain hemorrhage. The medications she was taking- keppra (levetiracetam), hydrocodone and xanax- are not related to aneurysm formation. In most cases, aneurysms are present from birth.
