The detailed uses of Lacosam Injection are as follows:</p><ul><li><strong>Partial-onset (focal) seizures: </strong>Treats partial-onset (focal) seizures in both adults and children, helping to reduce abnormal brain activity.</li><li><strong>Generalised tonic-clonic seizures: </strong>Controls generalised tonic-clonic seizures, which cause loss of consciousness along with muscle stiffness and jerking movements.</li></ul>

Medicinal Benefits:

  • Lacosam Injection effectively manages seizures affecting only one part of the brain in adults and children (1 month and older) who cannot take oral medicines.
  • It is used along with other medicines to control full-body seizures (grand mal seizures) in adults and children (4 years and older) who are unable to take oral treatment.
  • Lacosam Injection provides an alternative for patients who need seizure control but cannot swallow or tolerate oral medications.

FAQs

Lacosam Injection belongs to the class of anticonvulsants used to treat partial onset seizures (seizures that affect only one portion of the brain) in adults and children one month or older who cannot take oral treatments. Lacosam Injection is also used in conjunction with other medications to manage primary generalised tonic-clonic seizures.

Lacosam Injection contains lacosamide, which treats seizures by decreasing disorganised electrical activity in the brain.

Coordination and walking issues normally improve within a few weeks. Inform your service provider if the problems persist.

Lacosam Injection should be used with caution in patients who are taking drugs that influence cardiac conduction, such as sodium channel blockers, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, potassium channel blockers, and medications that lengthen the PR interval.

Your doctor can identify a seizure after hearing about your experience or the signs noted by others. Your doctor may recommend testing based on your symptoms and medical history. Brain imaging scans, blood tests, or a spinal tap may be used to determine the cause of your seizures.

In people with cardiac rhythm and conduction abnormalities, use Lacosam Injection with caution. In patients with underlying proarrhythmic disorders or who are taking concomitant drugs that influence cardiac conduction, an ECG should be obtained before and after titration for steady-state maintenance; these patients should be regularly monitored.
