The doctor had prescribed her Levipil 250 for one year - dosage- one tablet in the morning and one at night. She is thirteen years old. I would like to know is it necessary to take this for such a long period ? and will there be any side effects in the long run. she met with the accident on march 2012.

Levipil is Levetiracetam manufactured by Sun Pharma in India.
it is the new generation of Piracetam called nootrophil by Ucb Pharma.
these medications are potent neurotonic agents.
but levipil is sometimes used for seizures also.
taking this medication has no harm.
but as far as the benefit she would get in such a case is in question.
u can take the question of another neurologist.
it is a costly medication so need to c the cost to benefit ratio
take care.
