Our pharmacy does not carry XR and will not be able to get for 24 to 48 hours. I have a patient who has been on Keppra xr 1000mg for some time at hs..I have the IR available, what dose do I give while awaiting the shipment?
Levetiracetam - what dose of Keppra IR would equal Keppra XR 1000mg in an emergency?
