As a part of the UCB network of sites, Keppra.com is a site presenting a medication of the same name designed to control and treat Epilepsy, and it is targeted mainly for patients and their families. In it users will find an extensive presentation on the drug and epilepsy, what the usual tests and regular diagnostic procedures are, plus simple explanations of how to drug works and what to expect from the treatment. I was happy to see that the site includes a variety of monitoring resources which are designed to help patients keep track of their progresses with Levetiracetam (Keppra’s active principle) and detect any secondary effects, and which include self-assessment tools and software or printable diaries. Also very interesting about the site are the day-to-day recommendations for people with epilepsy to lead a safer life, and include useful and simple tips to organize the kitchen, bathroom, take notice of some of the risks you should take into account when practicing sports or driving. In addition to these valuable patient resources, extensive information for healthcare professionals is also featured, and include prescribing information together with printable handouts for patients and their families. Keppra.com is a really nice site providing user-friendly resources and information that is not patronizing or overly insistent on doctor authority, but rather in patient-doctor relationship, and hopefully a site that will become the standard for other medication sites.
