About Lacotide 15 mg Syrup

Lacotide 15 mg 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.

It is given as monotherapy or in combination with other antiepileptic drugs. Lacotide 15 mg Syrup should be taken in the dose and duration your doctor advises. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects of Lacotide 15 mg 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.

Don’t stop taking Lacotide 15 mg Syrup even if your condition is controlled, as abrupt stopping may cause the recurrence of the seizures.

Seizures occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Lacotide 15 mg 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.
