Keppra (levetiracetam) is an anti-epileptic drug, also called an anticonvulsant.
Keppra is a prescription medicine used to treat certain types of seizures in people with epilepsy, including partial onset seizures, myoclonic seizures, and tonic-clonic seizures.
When used for partial onset seizures:
Keppra XR is for adults and children at least 12 years old.
Keppra (immediate release tablets or oral solution) may be used in children as young as 1 month old.
Keppra is also used with other seizure medications to treat tonic-clonic seizures in people who are at least 6 years old, and myoclonic seizures in people at least 12 years old.
Keppra injection is used only as an alternative for patients when oral use is temporarily not possible.
