What Are The Side Effects Of Keppra-xr 500mg?

Thank you, I would like to know what the manufacture name is for the keppra-xr 500mg generic brand name drug is, since my doctor just switched me over to it. My husband was spending $1,500.00 every 3 months for the brand prescription. I want to be prepared in case I have some kind of reaction to the medicine, as I have been through these situations before with similar medications for the same condition. Your in put is much appreciated. Sincerely, Audrey lee Tavel
