Citazar Injection contains Levetiracetam 500 mg/5 ml, an antiepileptic (anticonvulsant) medication used for the treatment and prevention of seizures in adults, adolescents, and children. Levetiracetam works by stabilizing abnormal electrical activity in the brain, reducing the likelihood of seizure episodes.

The injectable form of Citazar provides a rapid onset of action, making it particularly useful in emergency situations such as acute seizure attacks or status epilepticus. It is also used when oral administration is not feasible, such as in patients with swallowing difficulties or during hospital care.
