Keppra XR™ is a unique treatment made specifically to help control seizures. It is used with other medicines to treat partial-onset seizures in patients with epilepsy who are 16 years of age and older.
Keppra XR™ starts working at the first dose to control seizures. Studies have shown that patients who had already tried many other epilepsy medicines saw improvement when Keppra XR™ was added to their treatment. And Keppra XR™ has been proven to provide seizure control in patients with difficult-to-treat epilepsy.
Most people take Keppra XR™ once a day. “XR” stands for “extended release,” which means Keppra XR™ provides a constant flow of medicine all day long. Because Keppra XR™ is a once-a-day medicine, it may be easier to remember to take it daily. And fewer missed doses may help reduce the chance of having a breakthrough seizure.
