Lacosam Syp 100ML

Lacosam Syrup is an oral liquid formulation of lacosamide, used primarily for controlling and preventing seizures, especially in children and adults with epilepsy. It helps reduce abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures.

The dosage of Lacosam Syrup is typically calculated based on the patient’s weight and clinical condition. For children, the starting dose often begins at around 1-2 mg/kg/day divided into two doses and can be gradually increased by the doctor to achieve effective seizure control, with maintenance doses up to about 12 mg/kg/day as tolerated. It is important to follow the doctor’s prescription carefully and not to stop the medication abruptly.

Common side effects include dizziness, headache, nausea, dry mouth, muscle spasms, blurred or double vision, and fatigue. The syrup may cause drowsiness or dizziness, so activities requiring alertness should be avoided until the individual knows how the medicine affects them.

Patients using Lacosam Syrup should avoid alcohol, monitor for any mood changes or suicidal thoughts, and inform their healthcare provider of any heart conditions before starting treatment. The medication should be taken regularly at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in the body and prevent seizures.

Lacosam Syrup is an effective and convenient option for seizure management, especially in pediatric patients who cannot swallow tablets. It must be used under medical supervision with proper monitoring.
