Levetiracetam in Sodium Chloride Mechanism, CYP450 Pathways & DailyMed Monograph

RxCUI 1193358 • NDC 55150-246

Levetiracetam in Sodium Chloride Injection is indicated for adjunct therapy in adults (≥16 years of age) with the following seizure types when oral administration is temporarily not feasible: Partial-onset seizures ( 1.1 ) Myoclonic seizures in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy ( 1.2 ) Primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures ( 1.3 ) 1.1 Partial-Onset Seizures Levetiracetam in Sodium Chloride Injection is indicated as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial-onset seizures in adults with epilepsy.

12.1 Mechanism of Action The precise mechanism(s) by which levetiracetam exerts its antiepileptic effect is unknown. A saturable and stereoselective neuronal binding site in rat brain tissue has been described for levetiracetam. Experimental data indicate that this binding site is the synaptic vesicle protein SV2A, thought to be involved in the regulation of vesicle exocytosis.

Systemic exposure to Levetiracetam in Sodium Chloride reflects Complete (~100%) parenteral systemic delivery for Levetiracetam in Sodium Chloride (500 mg/100mL Injection) absorption kinetics and mixed metabolic conjugation and unchanged urinary excretion across levetiracetam in sodium chloride regimens, sustaining receptor engagement across a Terminal t½ estimated at 4–14 hrs depending on renal/hepatic reserve (Levetiracetam in Sodium Chloride) half-life window (rapid intravascular/parenteral onset within 15–45 minutes after levetiracetam in sodium chloride administration response profile).

Dosing protocols (500 mg/100mL Injection or 1000 mg/100mL Injection or 1500 mg/100mL Injection or 5 mg/mL Injection or 15 mg/mL Injection) balance efficacy (90.00% patient satisfaction across 21 logs) against nausea (9.4% of reports), headache (8.6% of reports), dizziness (7.9% of reports), with strict avoidance in levetiracetam in sodium chloride injection is contraindicated in patients with a hypersensitivity to levetiracetam.; reactions have included anaphylaxis and angioedema .; known hypersensitivity to levetiracetam.
