Which medication is a brand name for an anti-seizure drug included in the material?

• A. Keppra
• B. Solensia
• C. Cytopoint
• D. Diazepam

Answer: (A)

Levetiracetam, sold under the brand name Keppra, is a widely used anticonvulsant for seizures in dogs and cats. It works by binding to the SV2A protein in neurons, which helps dampen excessive electrical activity that leads to seizures. This makes Keppra the correct brand name highlighted in the material for an anti-seizure medication. The other options aren’t anti-seizure drugs in brand-name form: Solensia and Cytopoint are monoclonal antibodies for pain and dermatitis, respectively, and diazepam is a benzodiazepine used mainly for acute seizure control rather than a chronic seizure medication highlighted in typical veterinary pharmacology materials.
