Lacosamide

Is the active ingredient.

Treatment of partialonset seizures in adults with epilepsy.

Adjunctive therapy for focal seizures with or without secondary generalization in adults and adolescents (age 12 years and older).

Laxamind 50 Tablet (Lacosamide) selectively binds to voltage-gated sodium channels, slowing the recovery from inactivation. This reduces the repetitive firing of neurons, thus stabilizing neuronal hyperexcitability and reducing seizure activity.

Store at room temperature (20°C to 25°C), away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Dosage should be determined by a physician based on individual needs and response.

Typically, treatment begins with a low dose, gradually increasing until the desired therapeutic effect is achieved.

Lacosamide is available in various formulations (tablets, oral solution). Follow prescribed dosage instructions precisely.
