An Introduction to Side Effects of Levetiracetam
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with levetiracetam (Keppra®). However, not everyone who takes the medication will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate levetiracetam quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.

(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with levetiracetam. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of levetiracetam side effects with you.)

Common Side Effects of Levetiracetam
Levetiracetam has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials. In these studies, the side effects that occur in a group of people taking the drug are documented and then compared to the side effects that occur in another group of people not taking the medicine. As a result, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
