Lacotide 10mg Injection

Product Introduction
Lacotide 10mg Injection is a medication used to help manage and prevent epilepsy by controlling seizures. It can be given alone or with other similar medicines. This injection works by reducing the abnormal and excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain, which helps in preventing seizures.

The injection is administered only by a healthcare professional such as a doctor or nurse and should not be self-injected at home. For best results, it should be taken regularly at the same time each day. Missing doses can increase the risk of seizures, which may sometimes be serious. Keeping an extra supply is recommended to avoid missed doses. Even if you start feeling better, it is important to complete the full course of treatment and not stop the medicine suddenly, as this can lead to an increase in seizure episodes. Inform your doctor beforehand if you have any heart conditions before starting the treatment.

Some common side effects that may occur include dizziness, headache, nausea, blurred vision, and double vision. These are usually temporary and tend to improve on their own. Mild redness or swelling at the injection site may also be noticed. If any of these effects continue or get worse, consult your doctor promptly.
