What is Spritam?
Spritam is a brand name for levetiracetam, an anti-seizure medicine used to treat epilepsy. It’s designed to release the drug through a technology that helps the tablet dissolve quickly in the mouth, making it easier for some people to take.
Why do people search for “Spritam” specifically?
Searches often focus on one or more of these topics:
- How it’s different from other levetiracetam products (especially tablet/administration differences).
- Whether it’s still available or has been replaced by a generic.
- Patent and exclusivity status, since levetiracetam is widely prescribed and competition can affect pricing.
Is Spritam still under patent, or has it gone generic?

What’s the active ingredient, and how is it used?
The active ingredient in Spritam is levetiracetam, used for seizure disorders. If you tell me the exact indication you mean (adult vs pediatric, focal seizures vs myoclonic seizures, etc.), I can narrow the answer to what’s relevant.
What do patients typically ask about with Spritam?
Common questions include:
- How to take it (especially since it dissolves quickly in the mouth).
- Whether it can be crushed or mixed (depends on the formulation instructions).
- Side effects compared with other levetiracetam formulations.
If you share what you’re trying to learn about Spritam—availability, dosing/taking instructions, side effects, or patent status—I can tailor the answer tightly to that.
