Description of Keppra XR
Keppra XR is a drug with the generic name levetiracetam, which belongs to the drug class of antiepileptic drugs. You can buy Keppra XR for the treatment of partial onset seizures in patients who are 4 years or older.

Indications & Dosage of Keppra XR
Keppra XR is available as an extended release tablet in two different strengths- 500mg and 750mg. The tablet to be taken, its daily dosage and the duration of treatment would be determined by your doctor. Do not take a dose larger than what has been determined, and do not take Keppra XR for longer than the prescribed duration. If your doctor makes changes in your prescription to achieve optimum results, then you must abide by it.
Keppra XR must be swallowed along with water. However, it may be taken with or without food. Since the drug is an extended release tablet, it must not be chewed, broken or crushed. By doing so, an excessive amount of Keppra XR may enter the bloodstream and cause an overdose. Keppra XR may be prescribed for a long duration of time. If so, you must refill your prescription from time to time so that you do not miss out on any dose.
Do not stop taking Keppra XR suddenly without consulting your doctor, irrespective of whether you feel alright or not. By stopping your daily dose of Keppra XR suddenly, you may suffer from increased seizures.
