Keppra immediate release is unlikely to cause his symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Keppra contains levetiracetam and is available in many doses and forms. Keppra is marketed as immediate release "Keppra" and extended release "Keppra XR".
2. Keppra is marketed in 250 mg, 500 mg, 750 mg and 1000 mg. Keppra XR is marketed in 500 mg aand 750 mg.
3. Events involving memory, chills and sleepy is not related to breaking Keppra.
4. However the same cannot be said about Keppra XR if we keep in mind that the memory lapse and felling sleepy is a form of mild seizure episode.
5. In conclusion, if your husband takes Keppra then it is suggested that he buys Keppra 250 mg pills which do not require breaking.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
