Generic for levetiracetam?

Levetiracetam is itself the generic name.
The drug is commonly sold under the brand name Keppra, but pharmacies and many manufacturers offer it in generic form as “levetiracetam” in a variety of strengths and formulations.

| Form | Typical Strengths | Common Use |
|------|-------------------|------------|
| Oral tablets | 250 mg, 500 mg, 750 mg, 1000 mg | Adults & children (except newborns) for focal seizures, myoclonic seizures, and generalized tonic‑clonic seizures |
| Oral solution | 250 mg/5 mL (5 mg/mL) | Children or patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets |
| Oral suspension (pre‑made) | 250 mg/5 mL (5 mg/mL) | Similar pediatric use |

Key points to remember

- Generic availability: You can ask your pharmacist for generic levetiracetam; it is often less expensive than the brand‑name version and has the same active ingredient and therapeutic effect.
- Dosage adjustments: The usual starting dose is 500 mg twice daily for adults, with gradual titration to a target dose of 1–4 g/day depending on seizure type and response. Pediatric dosing is weight‑based (typically 20–60 mg/kg/day).
- Safety: Common side effects include dizziness, somnolence, and behavioral changes. Rare but serious concerns include suicidal thoughts; patients should be monitored accordingly.
- Drug interactions: Levetiracetam has minimal drug–drug interactions, but it may be affected by substances that alter renal clearance (e.g., NSAIDs, diuretics, and some antiepileptics).
