Tiralepsy 1000 Mg 20 Tablets

Description:

Tiralepsy 1000 mg tablets is a prescription antiepileptic medicine containing levetiracetam, used for the treatment and control of epilepsy and various types of seizures. Each film-coated tablet delivers a high-strength 1000 mg dose designed for patients who require medium to high daily doses of levetiracetam as part of their seizure management plan. Tiralepsy helps stabilize abnormal electrical activity in the brain, reducing seizure frequency and severity when taken regularly as directed by a neurologist or healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Adjunctive treatment of partial-onset (focal) seizures with or without secondary generalization in adults and adolescents, as prescribed by a doctor.
• Adjunctive treatment of myoclonic seizures in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, as directed by a neurologist.
• Adjunctive treatment of primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy.
• May be used as monotherapy or in combination with other antiepileptic drugs for seizure control, according to medical advice.
• Helps reduce seizure frequency, intensity, and risk of seizure-related injury, supporting long-term epilepsy management.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Levetiracetam – 1000 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Excipients: film-coating and tablet core excipients (such as fillers, binders, and coating agents). Exact excipient composition and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; please refer to the official package leaflet for a full list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as prescribed by your doctor or neurologist. Do not adjust your dose without medical advice.
• Typical adult dosing of levetiracetam is divided twice daily (for example, morning and evening). The exact daily dose (in mg/kg or total mg per day) will be determined by your physician based on age, weight, kidney function, and seizure type.
• Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor specifically advises otherwise.
• Can be taken with or without food; try to take doses at the same times each day to maintain stable blood levels.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
• Do not stop taking Tiralepsy suddenly without consulting your doctor, as abrupt discontinuation may increase seizure frequency or cause withdrawal seizures.
• Patients with impaired kidney function may require dose adjustment; follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
• Use in children and adolescents must strictly follow pediatric dosing as determined by a specialist.
