What Are The Uses And Side Effects Of Levetiracetam?
My room mate has a prescription for levetiracitam. I am not sure but I think he has overdosed. He s not opening his door but I can see 3 strips of 500mg lying empty in the kitchen. He may have taken about 30 500mg tablets. Please let me know if I can wait till morning or call for help right now. He is 28 male 70 kms and 5 8 height.

Hello
I can understand your concerns.
I think you should call emergency medical services now.
Although, the serious life threatening side effects of levetiracetam are rare.
But there are chances of electrolyte imbalance, excessive sedation and delirium.
Your friebd must be taken to emergency now.
Thanks
