  • Title: Hyponatremia associated with repeated use of levetiracetam.
    Author: Nasrallah K, Silver B.
    Journal: Epilepsia; 2005 Jun; 46(6):972-3. PubMed ID: 15946344.
    Abstract:
    Levetiracetam (LEV) is increasingly used as adjunctive anticonvulsant therapy because of apparent low toxicity. Somnolence, asthenia, headache, dizziness, and nervousness are the most frequently reported side effects (1). We describe a patient, predisposed to the development of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), in whom hyponatremia developed after two challenges of LEV.
