Helps our German Shepherd control his epilepsy.
From Sacramento, CA, USAComments about Levetiracetam (Generic)Our GSD has idiopathic epilepsy and must take potassium bromide and levetiracetam for the rest of his life. We buy the 500 mg tablets and give him 1 daily and his seizure severity and frequency are controlled. He doesn't get the woozy side effects that phenolbarbitol or other meds have. The only bad thing is the cost per tablet. -
Great source.
From UndisclosedComments about Levetiracetam (Generic)I had such a hard time trying to find Keppra/Levetiracetam for my dog & after doing some research, finally came across Levetiracetam here. Not too expensive for us, & they shipped right when I expected. Also grateful for my amazing vet, whom quickly wrote the prescription as soon as I placed the order. VetRx will be my source for any medications I need for my pets from now on.

Hello! My poodle was just diagnosed with epilepsy. I ordered this on a monthly plan. They have to be cut in half, but can I put them in a pill pocket treat and have him chew it? Or do I have to push it down his throat? I pray that he can chew it .. I would hate to have to shove it 3 times a day.?
-
This medicine may be given with or without food. Extended-release tablets should not be crushed or chewed, however, these Levetiracetam tablets are immediate release. If you give the pill in a piece of treat or pill pocket, it is important to watch your pet to ensure that they ingest the entire pill pocket and do not spit it out to confirm that they have received the dose of medication. If you have difficulty getting your dog to take this medicine, contact your veterinarian for dosing tips to help reduce the stress of medication time.

can flea meds (advantix) be given as well?

Levetiracetam is a FDA approved, human-labeled generic drug used for controlling seizures in dogs and cats. Human-labeled prescription medications may be used in an extra-label manner for pets, under the direction and guidance of a veterinarian. Currently, there is no information available concerning the use of levetiracetam and Advantix together to suggest any drug interactions. It is recommended that you consult with your veterinarian before starting Advantix.

What are the colors of the different doses? Could you post a photograph of all three doses showing the colors of the pills? My dog's vet office had filled a script for 250mg pills which are blue in the original prescription (June 2015) but the pills in the refill are a rose/purple color while the new label also says it's 250 mg. Just want to make sure my dog is getting the right dose.?
-
The color does depend on the manufacturer that we have at the time of your order. Please contact customer service and they will be able to help you figure out which manufacturer you received. Thank you, VetRxDirect
