Hello,

Levetiracetam is useful for seizures but the treatment of causative is important. Berry aneurysms or arteriovenous malformation or hypertensive bleeding are the cause for bleed.

It is examined by MRI angiogram. Please consult your neuro physician he will examine and treat the cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
