Medicine Description Levepex 100 mg
Levepex 100 mg syrup is a medication that primarily operates through the modulation of neurotransmitter release in the brain. It is believed to enhance the inhibitory neurotransmitter activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and inhibit excessive neurotransmitter release, thereby stabilizing neuronal activity. By binding to specific sites in the brain, Levetiracetam interrupts the propagation of seizure activity, offering a protective effect against the onset of seizures.
