Taking SPRITAM® (levetiracetam)

Available in 250 mg Tablets for Oral Suspension

SPRITAM Tablets for Oral Suspension rapidly disintegrate in the mouth in an average time of 11 seconds (range of 2 to 27 seconds). In fact, if you were to put SPRITAM on your tongue right now and take a sip of liquid, it would likely disintegrate before you finished reading this sentence.

SPRITAM is available in 250 mg tablets for oral suspension, which may be used in appropriate tablet quantities to achieve your prescribed dosage. Talk to your pharmacist to understand your daily dosing and the appropriate number of SPRITAM tablets in your regimen.

Product images are not shown at exact size. Please be familiar with the tablet markings as shown above.

Your healthcare provider (HCP) will tell you how much SPRITAM to take and when to take it. Your HCP may change your dose. Do not change your dose or stop taking SPRITAM without talking to your HCP.
