Tiratam 500 Mg 30 Tablets

Tiratam 500 Mg 30 Tablets

Description:

Tiratam 500 mg 30 tablets is a prescription anticonvulsant medicine containing levetiracetam. It is used as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy in the management of epilepsy to help control partial-onset seizures and other types of seizures in adults and children as directed by a neurologist. Levetiracetam acts on specific synaptic vesicle proteins in the brain to stabilize abnormal electrical activity, thereby reducing seizure frequency and helping maintain better seizure control and overall neurological stability.

Indications:

• Adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization in adults and adolescents, as prescribed by a physician.
• Monotherapy for partial-onset seizures in appropriately selected patients, according to specialist guidance.
• May be used in certain generalized seizure types (such as myoclonic or tonic-clonic seizures) as recommended by a neurologist.
• Can be used as part of long-term epilepsy management to help reduce seizure frequency and severity.
• Levetiracetam is also sometimes used off-label for conditions such as neuropathic pain, Tourette syndrome, autism-related irritability, and anxiety disorders; such uses must only be under strict medical supervision.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Levetiracetam – 500 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Excipients (tablet core and coating) – include standard pharmaceutical tablet ingredients (such as fillers, binders, and coating agents). Exact excipient list and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; please refer to the official package leaflet for full details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change the dose or stop the medicine without medical advice.
• Typical adult dosing for epilepsy: levetiracetam is usually taken twice daily (morning and evening). The total daily dose and starting dose are determined individually by the physician based on age, weight, kidney function, and seizure control.
• Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise.
• Can be taken with or without food; taking it at the same times every day helps maintain stable blood levels and improves seizure control.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
• In patients with kidney impairment, dose adjustments are required; your doctor will calculate the appropriate dose based on kidney function tests.
• Do not stop levetiracetam suddenly, as abrupt discontinuation may increase the risk of seizures. Any dose reduction or discontinuation must be gradual and supervised by a doctor.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps control and reduce the frequency of epileptic seizures by stabilizing abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
• Can be used as both monotherapy and add-on therapy, offering flexibility in individualized epilepsy treatment plans.
• Generally has a predictable pharmacokinetic profile with minimal drug–drug interactions compared to some older antiepileptics, which is beneficial for patients on multiple medications.
• Supports improved quality of life by helping to maintain better seizure control, which may reduce seizure-related injuries and hospitalizations.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to levetiracetam or any of the excipients in the formulation.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of depression, mood disorders, suicidal thoughts, or behavioral problems, as levetiracetam may exacerbate these conditions.
• May cause drowsiness, dizziness, or coordination problems; avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing hazardous tasks until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Dose adjustment is required in patients with impaired kidney function; regular monitoring may be necessary.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy; levetiracetam should only be used in pregnancy if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
• Consult your doctor before use if breastfeeding; levetiracetam passes into breast milk, and your doctor will weigh the benefits and risks.
• Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, including other antiepileptics, sedatives, and over-the-counter products.
• If you experience new or worsening depression, anxiety, irritability, aggression, or suicidal thoughts, contact your doctor immediately.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision; it is a prescription medicine that must be used under a doctor’s guidance.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness, headache, and weakness.
• Gastrointestinal effects such as nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, or abdominal discomfort may occur.
• Neuropsychiatric side effects can include anxiety, irritability, agitation, depression, mood changes, or behavioral changes.
• Hair loss (alopecia) has been reported in some patients.
• Less common but serious side effects may include severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing), severe mood changes, suicidal thoughts, or unusual bleeding or bruising.
• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of a severe allergic reaction, severe skin reaction, marked changes in mood or behavior, or a significant increase in seizure frequency.
