Krotam Tablets Ingredients and Usage

Krotam Tablets contain Levetiracetam, a broad-spectrum antiepileptic drug. This medication is clinically utilized as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy for the treatment of partial-onset seizures, myoclonic seizures, and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. It is indicated for adults and children with epilepsy. By controlling seizure activity, Krotam helps patients maintain their independence and safety in daily life. PakMeds provides this essential neurological medication to ensure consistent care for patients managing seizure disorders.

How Does Krotam Tablets Work?

Unlike many other antiepileptics, Levetiracetam has a unique mechanism of action. The active ingredient in Krotam binds to the synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) in the brain. This protein is believed to be involved in the release of neurotransmitters across synapses. By modulating this protein, Krotam helps stabilize electrical activity in the brain and prevents the synchronized firing of neurons that leads to a seizure. This targeted action provides effective seizure control with a relatively low risk of drug-drug interactions.

Krotam Tablets Side Effects

Common side effects include somnolence (drowsiness), fatigue, and dizziness. Some patients may experience behavioral changes, such as irritability, aggression, or anxiety. Other potential side effects include nasopharyngitis and headache. Most side effects are mild to moderate and often occur during the initial phase of treatment.

List of Warnings:

• Do not discontinue this medication abruptly; gradual tapering is required to prevent status epilepticus or increased seizure frequency.
• Monitor for any changes in mood or behavior, including suicidal ideation or depression.
• Adjustments in dosage are necessary for patients with impaired renal function.
• Avoid driving or operating machinery until you are certain that the medication does not cause excessive sleepiness.
