Tiratam Xr 750 Mg 20 Tablets

Description:

Tiratam XR 750 mg is an extended-release prescription antiepileptic medicine containing levetiracetam. It is formulated as film-coated tablets designed to provide a controlled, prolonged release of the active ingredient over time to help maintain stable blood levels and improve seizure control. Tiratam XR is used as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy in the management of epilepsy in adults and adolescents, under the supervision of a neurologist or healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial-onset (focal) seizures with or without secondary generalization in patients with epilepsy, as prescribed by a physician.
• May be used as monotherapy for certain types of seizures in adults and adolescents, according to specialist recommendation.
• Helps reduce seizure frequency and severity in patients with established epilepsy.
• May be considered in patients who have not achieved adequate seizure control with other antiepileptic medications, as directed by a neurologist.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Levetiracetam – 750 mg per extended-release film-coated tablet.
• Excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (tablet core and coating agents, stabilizers, and coloring agents) is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the package leaflet for complete excipient details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change your dose or stop taking Tiratam XR 750 mg without medical advice.
• Typical adult dosing of levetiracetam is usually divided twice daily (morning and evening). The exact dose, schedule, and duration are individualized by the treating physician based on age, weight, kidney function, and seizure control.
• Extended-release tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablets, as this may affect the controlled-release properties.
• Can be taken with or without food. Taking it at the same times each day helps maintain steady levels and improves adherence.
• 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 one.
• Do not stop Tiratam XR suddenly, as abrupt discontinuation may increase seizure frequency. Any dose reduction or discontinuation must be gradual and supervised by a doctor.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps control and reduce the frequency of partial-onset seizures in patients with epilepsy.
• Extended-release formulation provides more stable blood levels over 24 hours, which may improve seizure control and reduce fluctuations in symptoms.
• Can be used as add-on therapy to other antiepileptic drugs, offering flexibility in individualized epilepsy management.
• Once- or twice-daily extended-release dosing (as prescribed) may improve treatment adherence and convenience for long-term epilepsy management.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to levetiracetam or any of the excipients in the formulation.
• Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment; dose adjustment may be required. Your doctor may request kidney function tests before and during treatment.

• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Antiepileptic therapy in pregnancy must be carefully managed by a specialist.
