Levera Tablets and Alcohol
Yes, you can drink alcohol with Levetiracetam, but it may make you feel
sleepy or tired, and alcohol and hangovers can bring on seizures in
some people with epilepsy.
Levera (Generic Levetiracetam tablets) and alcohol both affect the
central nervous system and can heighten each other’s side effects,
making mild symptoms like fatigue or dizziness much more severe.
Usually, people who take alcohol and Levetiracetam together
experience impaired judgment and difficulty concentrating. This could
make driving difficult and impair one’s ability to perform at work or
school.
During the first few days of taking levetiracetam, it's best to stop drinking
alcohol until you see how the medicine affects you.
