Levetiracetam Pharmacology

On this episode of the RLP podcast, I discuss levetiracetam pharmacology. Levetiracetam is indicated for numerous types of seizures and possibly works by enhancing GABA activity. Sedation and dizziness are two common adverse effects of levetiracetam. On this episode, I discuss when and if we might do levetiracetam levels. Levetiracetam tends to have much fewer drug interactions compared to older agents like phenytoin and carbamazepine. I discuss important drug interactions on the podcast, be sure to check out my latest project which is a 200+ page book on managing drug interactions in primary care.
