Citazar Oral Solution contains Levetiracetam 500 mg/5 ml, an antiepileptic (anticonvulsant) medication used for the treatment of seizure disorders in adults, children, and adolescents. Levetiracetam works by modulating neuronal excitability and stabilizing abnormal electrical activity in the brain, thereby helping prevent seizures.
The oral solution form is particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets, such as children or elderly patients, and allows for flexible, weight-based dosing. Citazar Oral Solution can be used alone or as adjunctive therapy with other antiepileptic drugs depending on seizure type and severity.
