Is Pregnancy Possible While On Levipil?

Question: sir iam using levipil 500 for past 7 to 8 years.My doubt is can i get pregnant
Brief Answer:
It does not interfere with pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
I would say a few things about getting pregnant while taking levipil (levetiracetam).
1. It does not interfere with the capacity to get pregnant.
2. If you get pregnant, its dose will need to be adjusted or the medicine may need to be changed.
3. Not much research has been done about its safety on baby if the mother takes this medicine during pregnancy. Thus it is considered category C medicine.
Some studies have been done on animals and some adverse effects have been seen in them.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

tq and iam getting black circles around eyes
Brief Answer:
Can be many causes
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
There is no specific treatment of dark circles. It can be caused by many conditions like inadequate sleep, medicines, anemia, thyroid issues, heavy periods, loss of weight, infections, high BP, high cholesterol, etc. You will need to get tested for these by getting some basic tests like complete blood profile and complete metabolic panel done. Treatment for these conditions will take care of the dark circles.
Also you will need to take following precautions like
- Take regular meals. Take 3 big meals and 3 small snacks in a day. Avoid junk and sugary foods.
- Drink sufficient fluids
- Take proper sleep
- Exercise regularly
Hope it helps
