Regarding breverateacm dosage

Question

Asked for Male, 69 Years

My father aged 72 years is on antiepileptic medicine levetracetam 500 (1-0-1.5) since last 3 years and now I want to change this to brivarasetam in order to avoid levetracetam induced side effects such as aggressive behaviour, irritation etc etc.... So what will be the equivalent dose of breverateacm he should start so that no risk of any seizure and no risk of overdose.... He has no seizure since he started levetracetam but some side effects are there. Thanks for your great suggestions
