Levetiracetam (Keppra) generic in various doses
Levetiracetam can be used for treating seizures in dogs and cats. It can be used solely as an anticonvulsant medication. It can also be used in conjunction with phenobarbital and/or potassium bromide.
Levetiracetam appears to be relatively safe for both dogs and cats but studies are still ongoing to investigate any adverse effects it may have. It does not appear to affect the liver or liver enzymes (measured in the blood) as phenobarbital and potassium bromide can.
Levetiracetam does need to be dosed more frequently than other anticonvulsant medications. In many cases, the medication must be given three times daily.
