Lacotide 150mg Tablet 1*10

Product introduction
Lacotide 150mg Tablet is a medication used to manage and prevent epilepsy by controlling seizures. It works by calming the overactive nerve signals in the brain, which helps prevent sudden, uncontrolled electrical activity that causes seizures.

You can take Lacotide 150mg Tablet with or without meals, but it’s best to take it at the same time every day to maintain consistent levels in the body. In case you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Since missing doses may lead to life-threatening seizures, it is a good idea to keep an extra supply with you. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it can increase the risk of seizure episodes. If you have any heart-related conditions, inform your doctor before starting the treatment.

Some common side effects may include headache, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, nausea, muscle spasms, and double vision. Most of these effects are mild and temporary, improving on their own with time. Since this medication may cause weight gain, a healthy diet and regular physical activity are recommended.
