Brief Answer:
What is Suppra ?

Detailed Answer:
Hello Boyroy

Thanks for asking to healthcaremagic

I don't understand the drug name..Can you tell me the generic name of the drug ?

I hope you are speaking about the drug Levitracetam..In such case,you do not need to be worried as this is one of the safest drug in the management of Seizure disorder.

It's maximum dosage per day 3000 mg/day...Efficacy of doses >3000mg/day has not been established.

Further queries are welcome

Take care
