It is given as monotherapy or in combination with other antiepileptic drugs. Lacove 50 Tablet should be taken in the dose and duration your doctor advises. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects of Lacove 50 Tablet : 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.
