ACTIVE INGREDIENT: LEVOTIRETACETAM
Utilev is an anticonvulsant (anti-epileptic) medication containing Levetiracetam. It is formulated as a sugar-free oral solution (syrup), making it an ideal choice for children, the elderly, or anyone who has difficulty swallowing tablets. It works by stabilizing the electrical activity in the brain, preventing the sudden "bursts" of energy that cause seizures.
This 60ml syrup is used for the management of various types of Epilepsy. It is indicated for:
Partial Onset Seizures: Treating seizures that start in one specific part of the brain (used in adults and children).
Myoclonic Seizures: Specifically for patients with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy.
Primary Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures: Managing "grand mal" seizures in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
Levetiracetam: A modern anti-epileptic drug known for having fewer drug-to-drug interactions compared to older seizure medications.
Precision Dosing: CRITICAL: Use the oral syringe or measuring device provided with the bottle to ensure the exact milligram ($mg$) dose is given. Do not use a standard kitchen teaspoon.
Frequency: Usually taken twice daily (once in the morning and once in the evening), at approximately the same times each day.
Individualized Dose: The dosage is strictly determined by a doctor based on the patient's weight and the severity of the condition.
Preparation: Shake the bottle well before each use.
Administration: The syrup can be taken with or without food. It can be swallowed directly or diluted in a small glass of water or juice if the taste is an issue.
Consistency: CRITICAL: Do not stop taking Utilev suddenly. Stopping abruptly can cause "rebound" seizures that are more frequent or severe. Any discontinuation must be done gradually under medical supervision.
Mood & Behavior: WARNING: Monitor for any unusual changes in mood or behavior. Levetiracetam can occasionally cause irritability, aggression, anxiety, or, in rare cases, suicidal thoughts.
Drowsiness: This syrup may cause sleepiness or dizziness, especially when first starting or after a dose increase.
Kidney Health: Since the medicine is cleared through the kidneys, inform our pharmacist if the patient has any history of kidney disease, as a dose adjustment may be necessary.
Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption while using Utilev, as it can increase the sedative effects.
Indicated For: Infants (from 1 month of age), children, and adults. Its liquid form is specifically designed for pediatric use and for adult patients with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia).
Q: Does the syrup need to be kept in the fridge?
A: No. Utilev Syrup should be stored at room temperature (below 25°C), away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze it.
Q: What should I do if my child vomits after taking a dose?
A: If the vomiting occurs immediately (within a few minutes), consult our pharmacist. Do not automatically give another dose, as some of the medicine may have already been absorbed.
Q: How long does the 60ml bottle last?
A: This depends entirely on the prescribed dose. For small children, it may last several weeks; for adults on higher doses, multiple bottles may be required for a full month's supply.
