LEVETIRACETAM

Therapeutic Action

Antiepileptic

Indications

Convulsive status epilepticus in infants, children and pregnant women.

Contact your OC advisor for the treatment protocol.

Instructions for use

Dilute the concentrate solution vial in at least 100 ml of 0.9% NaCl, 5% dextrose or ringer lactate.

Must be given as slow IV infusion.

Levetiracetam can be used as an alternative first-line when phenobarbital is not available.

Injectable valproate sodium can be used as an alternative for epilepsy, in adults only.

Due to the international shortage of injectable phenobarbital and phenytoin, levetiracetam is an alternative for the treatment of the status epilepticus in infants, children and pregnant women.

Precautions for Use

Do not administer by rapid IV infusion or direct IV injection.

Storage

  • Below 25ºC
  • After dilution, use the solution immediately.
  • Discard any unused open vial.
