Biological Activity:
Levetiracetam is used to control some types of seizures in patients with epilepsy. This medicine cannot cure epilepsy and will only work to control seizures for as long as you continue to use it.The exact mechanism for levetiracetam is unknown. However, the drug binds to a synaptic vesicle protein, SV2A, which is believed to impede nerve conduction across synapses. [1]
