About Lacolit Tablet 100mg

Lacolit tablet 100mg Uses

• Focal (partial onset) seizures
• Add on treatment for epilepsy alongside other anticonvulsants
• Seizure control in adults and adolescents

Drug Class

• Anticonvulsant
• Sodium channel blocker

What Experts Say

Lacosamide calms overactive electrical signals in the brain by slowing sodium channels, which helps prevent focal seizures from starting or spreading.

It is usually taken twice daily, and the dose is increased gradually to reduce dizziness and other early side effects.

Lacolit should never be stopped suddenly, since this can trigger seizures or worsen seizure control, so any dose change must be guided by a doctor.
