Can i drink alchaol with keppra?
Consumption of alcoholic beverages should generally be avoided in patients taking keppra. Ethanol exhibits epileptogenic potential, which may lead to loss of seizure control in patients on anticonvulsants. Ethanol consumption may also contribute to drowsiness or dizziness which may be observed with levetiracetam [1]. So if you decide to drink, be aware that the suppression of your seizures by your med might not be at therapeutic levels, thus precipitating an episode all in the name of having a good time. May you choose wisely… [1] Keppra® (levetiracetam) package insert. Smyrna, GA: UCB Pharma; 2007 Sep.
