Lacosmile 200 Tablet 10 contains lacosamide (200 mg). Here's how it works:

• Decreases abnormal nerve cell activity: Lacosamide helps to reduce the abnormal and excessive activity of nerve cells in your brain. This is crucial in managing seizures as they are often caused by sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbances in the brain.
• Reduces seizure-causing nerve impulses: It works by reducing the nerve impulses that cause seizures. By doing so, it helps to maintain a stable nervous system and prevents the occurrence of seizures.

• Avoid high-risk activities like climbing or heavy lifting that could be dangerous if a seizure occurs.
