Levetiracetam IR Tablets

Description

Levetiracetam IR Tablets are a relatively new anti-epileptic medication used in humans, cats, dogs, and horses. It is commonly used as an additional medication for refractory epilepsy in animals. Levetiracetam has no known drug interactions, making it ideal for add-on therapy for animals in which a primary medication has not completely controlled their epilepsy.
