Glovera- 500 (Levetiracetam 500 Mg)

Glovera-500 Tablet is an anti-epileptic medication used for managing seizures associated with epilepsy. It can be prescribed as a standalone treatment or in combination with other seizure-control medicines. The tablet works to prevent seizures as long as it is taken regularly, as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

This medicine helps control irregular electrical activity in the brain. You may take Glovera-500 Tablet with or without food, but taking it at the same time daily enhances its effectiveness. The dosage and duration will be tailored to your specific condition and response. Since epilepsy is typically a long-term condition, consistent use is important. Do not stop this medication abruptly—even if you feel fine—as it may cause your seizures to return or worsen.

Common side effects include drowsiness, headache, irritability, reduced appetite, and mood or behavioral changes such as aggression or agitation. These effects are usually more noticeable during the initial weeks and tend to ease as your body adapts. Although uncommon, some users may experience suicidal thoughts—seek immediate medical attention if you notice any mood deterioration.

Inform your doctor before starting Glovera-500 Tablet if you have a history of kidney issues, depression, or suicidal behavior. Regular blood tests may be needed to monitor kidney function during the course of treatment.

For Epilepsy/Seizure Control
Glovera-500 Tablet is part of the anticonvulsant drug class, designed to regulate overactive nerve signals in the brain. It is effective against several types of seizures, including myoclonic, partial-onset, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. By stabilizing neural activity, this medicine can reduce symptoms such as involuntary movements, confusion, fear, and unconsciousness.

With improved seizure control, patients can enjoy more freedom in their day-to-day life—including activities like swimming and driving. Since the dosage is often increased gradually, it may take a few weeks to feel the full effect. Be sure to continue taking the medicine even if you are not currently experiencing seizures. Missing a dose may result in a breakthrough seizure.

Most side effects are mild and improve on their own. However, consult your healthcare provider if they persist or become troublesome.
