About Lacotab Syrup
Lacotab Syrup belongs to the class of anticonvulsants primarily used to lower the number of fits/seizures. It treats partial-onset seizures in adults and children above one month of age and generalised tonic-clonic seizures in adults and children above four years of age.
Lacotab Syrup contains lacosamide, which works by decreasing abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Thereby, it helps treat seizures.
In some cases, Lacotab Syrup may cause common side effects like nausea, headache, double vision (diplopia), vomiting, and diarrhoea. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.
Do not take Lacotab Syrup if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid discontinuing the medicines on your own, as it may worsen your condition.

- By controlling seizures, Lacotab Syrup also helps in improving quality of life, cognitive function, and overall brain health in people living with epilepsy.
