Lacotide 200 Tablet is taken orally.

Lacotide 200 Tablet contains a single active ingredient, Lacosamide (200 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Inactivating Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels: Lacosamide works by blocking certain types of channels in the nerve cells of your brain. These channels, known as voltage-gated sodium channels, are responsible for generating electrical signals in the nerve cells. By inactivating these channels, Lacosamide effectively dampens the abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

• Stabilising Nerve Cell Activity: Apart from inactivating sodium channels, Lacosamide also works to stabilise the overall electrical activity of nerve cells. This action further helps in controlling and preventing seizures by reducing the erratic and excessive activity of the nerve cells.

• Keep your Lacotide 200 Tablet in a cool and dry place, ideally at room temperature below 30°C.

• Avoid direct sunlight and moisture exposure.

• Ensure it's out of reach and sight of children.

• Always check the expiry date on the packet before using the tablet.

• Regular physical exercise can help reduce the frequency of seizures. However, consult your doctor to tailor a safe and effective workout routine for you.

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients. Nutrient deficiencies can sometimes trigger seizures, so eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
