Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.
TAKE CONTROL TODAYIn children, Keppra has been used primarily to treat partial seizures.
To keep side effects at a minimum, the doctor probably will prescribe a low dose to start and increase it slowly. Children usually start with a dose of 10 milligrams (mg) for each kilogram (kg, about 2.2 pounds) of their body weight per day. This is usually given in 2 equal doses.
After a gradual increase, most children do best taking about 20 to 40 mg per kg per day, Adjusted for weight, this is a little higher than the adult dose because children's bodies eliminate Keppra more quickly.
