Levetiracetam (Apo) 500mg

Levetiracetam (Apo) 500mg

Levetiracetam is an anticonvulsant medication that can stop or prevent seizures in dogs. The exact mechanism for how levetiracetam prevents seizures is not fully understood. But it appears to work by interfering with the release of neurotransmitters.                                Most dogs with ongoing seizures are treated with phenobarbital or levetiracetam. But these medications don’t work well enough for some dogs. They might also not work for dogs with certain underlying health conditions. In these cases, levetiracetam may be used as an add-on treatment or an alternative to other seizure medications.
Dogs taking levetiracetam for seizures may develop resistance to levetiracetam over time. They may require higher doses or additional medications to maintain seizure control.
Levetiracetam can also be given to stop an active seizure in dogs, though other medications like diazepam are more common. Options for using levetiracetam to stop a seizure include administering a dose rectally or giving a shot under the skin. Pet owners should follow their veterinarian’s precise instructions if levetiracetam is being used in this way.
