Normeg (levetiracetam) works by modulating neurotransmitter release, which helps in preventing abnormal electrical activity in the brain that leads to seizures. It is well-tolerated and has a favorable side effect profile compared to other antiepileptic drugs.
Clinical trials have shown that levetiracetam is as effective as older antiepileptic medications but with a lower risk of adverse effects such as cognitive impairment. Its unique mechanism of action makes it a valuable option for the management of epilepsy.
