Levipil (levetiracetam) is comparatively safer drug, broad spectrum anti epileptic drug. Only mild adverse events and safe to use when liver functions are deranged. During the switching period, you may get seizure as it may take a week or two for acquiring steady drug level in blood. Want to know the latest liver function test results and eeg results to opine about seizure recurrence.

No need of liver supplements but check your liver function tests once in 4 months at least.
