Overview

Lacosamide is a functionalized amino acid that has activity in the maximal electroshock seizure test, and is indicated for the adjunctive treatment of partial-onset seizures and diabetic neuropathic pain. Recent studies indicate that Lacosamide only affects those neurons which are depolarized or active for long periods of time, typical of neurons at the focus of an epileptic seizure, as opposed to other antiepileptic drugs such as carbamazepine or lamotrigine which slow the recovery from inactivation and reduce the ability of neurons to fire action potentials.

Indication

Lacosamide is indicated for the treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients aged one month and older and as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in patients aged four years and older.
