Placebo

Matching oral solution to Levetiracetam b.i.d. (twice a day) for a maximum treatment duration of 20 days.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type OTHER

Placebo solution, which is indistinguishable from the Levetiracetam oral solution.

Levetiractem

10 % oral solution Levetiracetam b.i.d. (twice a day) for a maximum treatment duration of 20 days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Levetiracetam

Intervention Type DRUG

Dosing was stratified by age. A dose of 20 mg/kg/day titrating to 40 mg/kg/day for children one month to less than six months old and a dose of 25 mg/kg/day titrating to 50 mg/kg/day for children 6 month to less than 4 years old, was used in this study. The total daily dose was administered b.i.d.
