Levetiracetam in Sodium Chloride Injection is an antiepileptic drug available as a clear, colorless, sterile solution for intravenous administration. The chemical name of levetiracetam, a single enantiomer, is (-)-(S)-α-ethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidine acetamide, its molecular formula is C 8 H 14 N 2 O 2 and its molecular weight is 170.21 g/mol. Levetiracetam is chemically unrelated to existing antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). It has the following structural formula: Levetiracetam is a white to almost white powder with a faint odor and a bitter taste. It is very soluble in water (104.0 g/100 mL). It is freely soluble in chloroform (65.3 g/100 mL) and in methanol (53.6 g/100 mL), soluble in ethanol (16.5 g/100 mL), sparingly soluble in acetonitrile (5.7 g/100 mL) and practically insoluble in n-hexane. (Solubility limits are expressed as g/100 mL solvent.) Levetiracetam in Sodium Chloride Injection is a clear, colorless, sterile solution that is available in a single-dose VIAFLO bag with an one side aluminum and other side transparent over wrap. The container closure is not made with natural rubber latex. 500 mg/100 mL: One 100 mL bag contains 500 mg of levetiracetam, USP (5 mg/mL), water for injection, USP; 820 mg sodium chloride, USP; 5.5 mg of glacial acetic acid, USP and buffered at approximately pH 5.5 with glacial acetic acid, USP and 164 mg sodium acetate trihydrate, USP. 1000 mg/100 mL: One 100 mL bag contains 1000 mg of levetiracetam, USP (10 mg/mL), water for injection, USP; 750 mg sodium chloride, USP; 6.5 mg of glacial acetic acid, USP and buffered at approximately pH 5.5 with glacial acetic acid, USP and 164 mg sodium acetate trihydrate, USP. 1500 mg/100 mL: One 100 mL bag contains 1500 mg of levetiracetam, USP (15 mg/mL), water for injection, USP; 540 mg sodium chloride, USP; 7.5 mg of glacial acetic acid, USP and buffered at approximately pH 5.5 with glacial acetic acid, USP and 164 mg sodium acetate trihydrate, USP. description
