A client with a history of partial seizures has been well managed for 2 years with levetiracetam (Keppra), an anti epileptic drug. Which statement about Keppra is false? Selected Answer: c. Monthly testing of White Blood Count is required for the entire time the drug is taken. Correct Answer: c. Monthly testing of White Blood Count is required for the entire time the drug is taken. Response Feedback: Although a transient decrease in WBC may happen initially, regularly monitoring is not necessary. Levetiracetam (Keppra) does not use the CYP 450 enzymes for metabolism, therefore it has few drug to drug interactions. Keppra can increase thoughts of suicide, and cause changes in mood and behavior. Cost difference is significant between generic form Levetiracetam and brand name Keppra. The only absolute contraindication to the use of levetiracetam is sensitivity to the drug. Woo
