Why This Biomarker Matters

This test confirms whether a patient is taking their prescribed seizure medication as directed. It helps clinicians identify non-compliance as a cause of breakthrough seizures and ensures appropriate treatment adherence.

Overview

Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic medication used to treat seizures. This urine test screens for the presence of levetiracetam or its metabolites, helping to confirm medication compliance and detect potential drug interactions. The test is not used to measure drug levels for dosing but rather to verify that the medication is present in the system. This can be important for patients with poorly controlled seizures or those participating in clinical trials.
