About LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION

LACOSET 10MG/ML 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. LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION is also used in conjunction with other medications to manage primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (previously known as a grand mal seizure, a seizure affecting the entire body) in adults and children four years of age and older who are unable to take oral medications. Focal or partial-onset seizures are characterized by abnormal electrical activity in only one brain hemisphere.

LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION contains lacosamide, which treats seizures by decreasing disorganized electrical activity in the brain.

LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION is administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience common side effects like coordination problems, double vision, headache, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and unsteady walking. Most of these side effects of LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Don’t stop taking LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION even if your condition is controlled, as abrupt stopping may cause the recurrence of the seizures. Before taking the LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION, inform your doctor if you are allergic to lacosamide or other ingredients. Inform your doctor if you are previously diagnosed with depression, kidney or liver impairment, and heart conditions. Before taking LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION, inform your doctor about your medical history and other medications you are currently taking in order to rule out any potential negative effects.

Uses of LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION

Focal or partial seizures

Directions for Use

LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION is administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Kindly do not self-administer.

Medicinal Benefits

LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION is an antiepileptic drug, also called anticonvulsants. It treats focal seizures in adults and children above one month of age. Seizures occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION can inactivate the sodium channels across the neuron membranes. This inactivation decreases neuron signals, thereby decreasing the brain's electrical disturbance or abnormal activity. It can also be used with other medications to manage primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (Previously known as a grand mal seizure, a seizure affecting the entire body) in adults and children above 4 years of age who cannot take oral medications.

Storage

Keep out of sight and reach of children.

FAQs

LACOSET 10MG/ML INJECTION contains lacosamide, which treats seizures by decreasing disorganized electrical activity in the brain.

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

LACOSET 10MG/ML 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 LACOSET 10MG/ML 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.
