Citazar Tablet contains Levetiracetam 250 mg, an antiepileptic (anticonvulsant) medication used to manage seizure disorders in adults and children. Levetiracetam works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, helping prevent abnormal neuronal firing that causes seizures.
The 250 mg dose is often used as a starting dose for adults or for pediatric patients, providing effective seizure control while allowing gradual adjustment according to patient response. Citazar can be used alone or in combination with other antiepileptic drugs depending on the type and severity of seizures.
