About Lacoptal Sugar Free Peppermint & Lychee Flavour Syrup
Lacoptal Sugar Free Peppermint & Lychee Flavour Syrup belongs to the class of anticonvulsants, which is primarily used to treat focal (partial) seizures in adults and children four years of age or older. Focal or partial-onset seizures are characterized by abnormal electrical activity in only one brain hemisphere.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects of Lacoptal Sugar Free Peppermint & Lychee Flavour Syrup : nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, confusion, dizziness, uncontrolled movements of the eye, blurred vision, double vision (diplopia), mood disturbances, itching, tremors, fatigue, and trouble walking. Consult your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen over time. Some people may also experience suicidal thoughts. Seek medical attention immediately in such cases.

Directions for Use
Key Benefits
Lacoptal Sugar Free Peppermint & Lychee Flavour Syrup is an antiepileptic drug, also called anticonvulsants. It treats focal seizures in adults and children above four years of age. Seizures occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Lacoptal Sugar Free Peppermint & Lychee Flavour Syrup can inactivate the sodium channels across the neuron membranes. This inactivation decreases neuron signals, thereby decreasing the electrical disturbance or abnormal activity in the brain.
