Hello the tablet is anticonvulsant and it is category C drug during pregnancy.That is benefits outweigh the risks.If it is more beneficial for your wife's condition it can be continued during pregnancy.In the current dosage level it is not secreted in breast milk .Even if it will be minimal.So consult you doctor and decide.

Levetiracetam is pregnancy category b3. It is not linked to major birth defects. Also it does not put the unborn child?s cognitive or language development at risks according to latest studies. This is extremely encouraging for young women who are responsive to levetiracetam. You may plan a pregnancy while on this drug without much anxiety.
