Lacosamide

Uses

Lacosamide is used in the treatment of epilepsy, seizures, mania, migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, and neuropathic pain.

How it Works

How Lacosamide works Lacosamide is an antiepileptic medication that gradually inactivates sodium-gated channels, reducing the abnormal and excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain. This mechanism helps control seizures.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Lacosamide include dizziness, headache, nausea, sleepiness, vomiting, and visual disturbances.
