For the older patient with epilepsy, levetiracetam is likely to offer an excellent alternative to other AEDs that are known to interact with other medications. Levetiracetam has performed favorably in adults with epilepsy (Ben-Menachem & Gilland, 2003; Morrell et al., 2003). The efficacy of levetiracetam has been demonstrated for epilepsy in older adults (Cramer et al. 2003; Kraemer & Edrich, 2001).
