Digesting Full Keppra XR Pills?
Wed, 10/29/2014 - 01:32Hi Everyone,
Have a quick question.... I noticed in my stool tonight all 4 of my Keppra XR pills floating. So I picked one of them out and it broke open after I bent it in half. It broke pretty easly, and the inside of the pill was full. Then just out of curoisty, I opened up and broke open a new pill and it pretty much looks the same.
Should I be assuming that they are not releasing and be worried? Or is this normal? Just Wondeirng.. Thanks.

You do need to call your doctor. a XR medication is to release the medication during a 24 hour time frame. I haven't used XR for many years.Now you need to tell your neurologist how long it was before you took your meds and when you released this stool. Yes you do need to question and if it were me I would worry a little. I have had questions and I got answers the day I asked them. Questions like yours can be answered over the phone.
