HOW LEVENUE SYRUP WORKS

Levetiracetam works by reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain to help control seizures. It binds to a protein called synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), which is involved in the release of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) between nerve cells. By modifying this process, levetiracetam helps stabilize brain activity and prevent seizures.
