Lacosam 50 15 Tab

Lacosam 50 from Torrent contains Lacosamide, an anti-epileptic medicine. Doctors prescribe it for control of focal seizures in adults and adolescents.

• Focal-onset seizures
• Add-on therapy for partial seizures
• Generalised tonic-clonic seizures in some cases

Lacosamide acts on sodium channels in nerve cells in a slow, selective way. This calms the over-active electrical signals in the brain that lead to seizures.

Take as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow with water, with or without food, at the same times each day. Do not skip doses and do not stop suddenly.

• Dizziness or unsteady walk
• Headache
• Nausea
• Double vision
• Tiredness

Tell the doctor about heart rhythm trouble, kidney or liver disease, depression or mood changes. Avoid alcohol. Do not drive until you know how the medicine affects you. Inform the doctor if you plan a pregnancy.

Store below 25°C in a dry place away from sunlight. Keep in original strip and out of reach of children.
