A member asked:

Are the long term side effects know after 10 years using levetiracetam? can levetiracetam cause health problems while taking oral contraceptive pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Fortunately, Levetiracetam is not metabolized through the liver, and is unlikely to interact with your ocp's. So far, there is very little to suggest long-term chronic issues on your med, and so i find no reason to have concerns regarding your future.
