Lacosamide

Lacosamide is an antiepileptic medication used to treat partial-onset seizures in adults. It is a sodium channel blocker that works by stabilizing the electrical activity in the brain, reducing the frequency and severity of seizures. Lacosamide is typically prescribed for patients who have not found adequate seizure control with other medications or who have experienced side effects from other treatments. It is available in tablet and oral solution forms, and is usually taken twice daily. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, and nausea. Patients should consult with their healthcare provider before starting Lacosamide to ensure it is the appropriate treatment for their specific seizure type and to discuss potential drug interactions.
