I have low grade glioma and have been taking Levera 500 + Fresium 10 tablets for the last 12 months from my first paralytic attack. Now I feel numbness and I would like to know if this is a side effect of either medication, and if so, is there another solution for this? ## I am 42 years old and after taking Levera, I'm feeling numbness in my leg which is partially paralyzed after craniotomy. What is the solution? ## Levera is listed as containing Levetiracetam, which is an anticonvulsant. As reported by the U.S. FDA it is not known to cause numbness, like you've both described. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight gain. The numbness is most likely due to the condiments you've both been diagno...

I found this pill going through a family members house who passed on what is it? It's long oblong shaped and white with 300 on one side nothing else ## There's a 750mg Levetiracetam ER tablet that is white and oblong shaped, but it has "1300" embedded on one side and blank on the other. Any chance that the "1" could've gotten smudged off or is difficult to see? If it's of any help, this particular medication is used for treating epilepsy. Do you know of any family members who might be taking something like this? Unfortunately that's the closest representation of what I could find here. If anyone else has more information to add, please post back!

It just says 300, it's white oblong no other markings on it anywhere! What is it? ## Hi Jorge, The closest match I can find is Levetiracetam extended release (750) mg; which is a white pill with the imprint "1300" on the front and nothing on the back. Maybe the 1 in front of the 300 got smudged off at some point? It is in the drug class: pyrrolidine anticonvulsants and is used in the treatment of epilepsy, seizures, new daily persistent headache, hyperekplexia, bipolar disorder (and more).

will levetiracetam make you have a false postive or show up on a drug test ## Levetiracetam should not cause a false positive or even show up on a urine drug test. As far as hair drug test goes it would not show up on a hair drug test. One of the big advantages of hair drug test is that it is good at isolating only the drugs that are tested for, the main drugs of abuse so levetiracetam would not show up on a hair drug test. ## Well i took a drug test today and they asked me if i was taking barbiturates or.sedatives and i take dilantin and levetiracetam.

My daughter and I are epileptics, we are currently on Levetiracetam me 2000mg her 1500mg, manufactured by Sunpharma. I have been informed by my pharmacy the company has discontinued it. They can refill it by another company I'm told the inactive ingredients can be different does this make a difference? And can we get seizures I'm concerned, but do not have a choice.

The inactive ingredients are considered inactive for a reason, they are not known to affect the way the medication works or to have any biological effect on the body for most people. Thus, you both should be fine. There is a slight chance that one of you may react to something in it, if you're allergic, or if there's a variance of the active ingredi...

Presently I am on levesam 500 mg thrice since Feb 2009. Its been 3 years and I dont think that the doctor wants to reduce the medication or intend on stopping it.

i am very underweight and i need the list of drug names for curing my problem tellme the drugs ## There are no medications that will provide you with a way to gain weight, healthily. Even when doctors recommend something for it, they normally give a multi-vitamin to make sure you are getting proper nutrition, which is usually the largest cause of being underweight. Your best bet is to make sure you are properly nourished, by following a healthy diet and also follow a good exercise regimen. Also, some people are just naturally small and you may never gain much weight. This is the way my body is and I have just learned to accept it. Are there any comments or questions? ## I have not taken my meds levetiracetam and sertraline since October 2013 n even though I haven't had a seizure my ...

Trying to find out what these pills are that I have they are all white with a cursive v and the numbers 1300 ## Hi Melina, The closest match I've been able to find is Levetiracetam extended release (750 mg). It is a white oval pill with the imprint 1300 on one side and blank on the other. Manufacturer: Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited Based on the description you gave for the V imprint, I have a hunch that the pills you found may have been manufactured by Vintage pharmaceuticals. I believe Vintage pharmaceuticals was bought out by Qualitest pharmaceuticals, so the pills you have may be older and no longer on the market (making them more difficult to accurately identify). If you can't have the pills analyzed by a pharmacy, I would safely dispose of them. Do you have any questions?

round yellow tablet cross marking with H upper left corner and 4 lower right, back plain. supposed to be a de-worming tablet for dogs ## Based on the description provided, the closest match I could locate is an oblong/capsule-shaped yellow pill, scored vertically down the center, with an "H" on the left side and blank on the right side of the divider. There is also an "88" on the back of the pill. This particular tablet is identified as Levetiracetam 500 mg. I only mention this pill's ID because I'm thinking the imprint is somewhat similar and the medication itself is also used in veterinary medicine for dogs and cats (as an anti-epileptic agent for treating seizures). With that in mind, it's possible that this drug manufacturer may be the same as your pill. ...
