Seizures are common in children. With the advent of newer antiepileptics efficacy as well as safety profile has increased. Although we are using conventional antiepileptics to abort an acute episode
of seizure more studies have to be conducted for assessing the safety and efficacy of newer drugs as first line antiepileptic drugs. Here we conducted a study to assess levetiracetam as first line antiepileptic.
