Preparation

  • Routine therapeutic monitoring of Levetiracetam is not required. Results are available after several days; therefore testing is not helpful when managing toxicity. Testing may be helpful if suboptimal compliance is suspected or during pregnancy.
  • If testing is indicated, send an email with the relevant clinical information and the specimen number to: restrictedtest@Waikatodhb.health.nz with "25pax" in the subject box.
