About Lacoron 150 Tab 10'S

Lacoron 150 Tab 10'S 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.

Lacoron 150 Tab 10'S contains lacosamide, which treats seizures by decreasing disorganized electrical activity in the brain.

It is given as monotherapy or in combination with other antiepileptic drugs. Lacoron 150 Tab 10'S should be taken in the dose and duration your doctor advises. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects of Lacoron 150 Tab 10'S: 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.
