- W2121569031 abstract "A brief review of epilepsy as a disease, anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) and methods of evaluation of AEDs are presented as a background for the assessment of levetiracetam which has been approved by the FDA as add-on therapy for the treatment of partial seizures with or without secondary generalisation in adults. The exact mechanism of action of levetiracetam is not known but its action differs from that of other anti-epileptic drugs. A specific binding site for levetiracetam has been identified and is possibly related to anticonvulsant activity. Levetiracetam offers an effective and broad spectrum treatment of epileptic seizures, partial as well as generalised epilepsy. Levetiracetam has been shown to be effective in genetic and kindled animal models of epilepsy and against chemoconvulsant-induced partial epileptic seizures. Levetiracetam has a near perfect pharmacokinetic profile, with rapid absorption following oral administration, excellent bioavailability, quick attainment of steady-state concentrations, linear kinetics and minimal plasma protein binding. Levetiracetam does not interact with commonly used drugs and other AEDs. In recent Phase III clinical trials, the responder rate was 39.4 - 42.1% on 3000 mg dose, compared with placebo rates of 10.9 - 16.7%. Levetiracetam has a favourable safety profile and the most frequently reported adverse events were somnolence, asthenia and dizziness. Overall, levetiracetam is considered to have several advantages over current AEDs." @default.
