About LACONEXT INJECTION
LACONEXT INJECTION belongs to the class of anticonvulsants used to treat partial onset seizures (seizures that affect only one portion of the brain) in adults and children one month or older who cannot take oral treatments. LACONEXT INJECTION is also used in conjunction 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 four years of age and older who are unable to take oral medications. Focal or partial-onset seizures are characterized by abnormal electrical activity in only one brain hemisphere.
LACONEXT INJECTION contains lacosamide, which treats seizures by decreasing disorganized electrical activity in the brain.
LACONEXT INJECTION is administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience common side effects like coordination problems, double vision, headache, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and unsteady walking. Most of these side effects of LACONEXT INJECTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Don’t stop taking LACONEXT INJECTION even if your condition is controlled, as abrupt stopping may cause the recurrence of the seizures. Before taking the LACONEXT INJECTION, inform your doctor if you are allergic to lacosamide or other ingredients. Inform your doctor if you are previously diagnosed with depression, kidney or liver impairment, and heart conditions. Before taking LACONEXT INJECTION, inform your doctor about your medical history and other medications you are currently taking in order to rule out any potential negative effects.

Medicinal Benefits
LACONEXT 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. LACONEXT 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.

Drug Warnings
Consult your doctor immediately if you experience suicidal tendencies. LACONEXT INJECTION may cause a reduction in mental awareness; hence, do not drive, operate complex machinery, or engage in other hazardous activities. Do not take LACONEXT INJECTION if you are allergic to any of its contents. Inform your doctor before taking LACONEXT INJECTION if you have depression, heart problems, kidney and liver problems, have low levels of sodium in your blood, or are taking medicines that could lower the levels of sodium in the blood. LACONEXT INJECTION should not be used when pregnancy and lactation unless necessary. So, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy or nursing mother. Your doctor will weigh the benefits and potential risks before prescribing LACONEXT INJECTION. An ECG is recommended before and after titration to maintain steady-state maintenance in patients. To reduce the risk of increased seizure frequency, LACONEXT INJECTION should be progressively discontinued.

Coordination and walking issues normally improve within a few weeks. Inform your service provider if the problems persist.
LACONEXT INJECTION should be used with caution in patients who are taking drugs that influence cardiac conduction, such as sodium channel blockers, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, potassium channel blockers, and medications that lengthen the PR interval.
Your doctor can identify a seizure after hearing about your experience or the signs noted by others. Your doctor may recommend testing based on your symptoms and medical history. Brain imaging scans, blood tests, or a spinal tap may be used to determine the cause of your seizures.
In people with cardiac rhythm and conduction abnormalities, use LACONEXT INJECTION with caution. In patients with underlying proarrhythmic disorders or who are taking concomitant drugs that influence cardiac conduction, an ECG should be obtained before and after titration for steady-state maintenance; these patients should be regularly monitored.
