How it works:
Levetiracetam 750 mg Tablet XR is a medication that stops seizures (antiepileptic).
It works by changing how nerve signals are sent in the brain, which stabilizes electrical activity and stops unexpected, strange bursts that trigger seizures.
It binds to synaptic vesicle protein (SV2A) in the brain, which helps control the release of neurotransmitters that send signals between nerves. This is how it stops seizures.
