Focal or partial-onset seizures are characterized by abnormal electrical activity in only one brain hemisphere.

Lacopsy 10mg/20ml Injection contains lacosamide, which treats seizures by decreasing disorganized electrical activity in the brain.

Lacopsy 10mg/20ml Injection is an antiepileptic drug, also called anticonvulsants. It treats focal seizures in adults and children above one month of age. Seizures occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Lacopsy 10mg/20ml Injection can inactivate the sodium channels across the neuron membranes. This inactivation decreases neuron signals, thereby decreasing the brain's electrical disturbance or abnormal activity. It can also be used with other medications to manage primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures (Previously known as a grand mal seizure, a seizure affecting the entire body) in adults and children above 4 years of age who cannot take oral medications.

Consult your doctor immediately if you experience suicidal tendencies.
