Levialfa Infusion

Overview Levialfa Infusion

Epileptic seizures are managed with Levialfa Infusion, an anticonvulsant administered intravenously. This medication, given as a slow intravenous infusion under medical supervision, offers short-term seizure control when oral medication is impractical, such as in unconscious patients. It may be used alone or in combination with other anti-epileptics. Continuous use is crucial for sustained seizure prevention; discontinuation or missed doses can exacerbate seizures. Following infusion, your physician will likely transition you to oral medication for long-term management. Common side effects, often mild and transient (especially within the initial days), include headache, drowsiness, nausea, infection, upper respiratory symptoms, irritability, and appetite changes. More serious reactions like allergic reactions (rash, hives, swelling, breathing difficulties), persistent behavioral shifts (confusion, aggression), or suicidal ideation necessitate immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor of any kidney issues, pre-existing depression or suicidal tendencies, or pregnancy before commencing treatment. Alcohol consumption should be avoided due to increased seizure risk and intensified side effects like drowsiness. Drowsiness may impair driving or operating machinery; regular kidney function monitoring may be required.
