BENEFITLeveder 500mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called anticonvulsants (or anti-epileptics). It works by slowing down electrical signals in the brain which cause seizures (fits). This medicine can be used to control various types of seizures—myoclonic, partial-onset, and primary generalized tonic-clonic (or grand mal). It can also help reduce symptoms such as confusion, uncontrollable jerking movements, loss of awareness, and fear or anxiety. The medicine can allow you to do some activities that you would otherwise be forbidden or scared to do (such as swimming and driving). It can take a few weeks for this medicine to work (because the dose has to be increased slowly) and during this time you may still have seizures. You should continue taking it even if you feel well and are not having any seizures. Missing doses may trigger a seizure. Do not stop using this medicine until your doctor advises you.

SIDE EFFECTSleepiness Dizziness Fatigue Headache Decreased appetite Behavioral changes Aggressive behavior Irritation Agitation Nasal congestion (stuffy nose) Infection

HOW TO USETake this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Leveder 500mg Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

HOW TO WORKLeveder 500mg Tablet is an antiepileptic medication. It works by attaching to specific sites (SV2A) on the surfaces of nerve cells. This suppresses the abnormal activity of the nerve cells in the brain and prevents the spread of electrical signals that cause seizures.
