How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Lacosamide Oral Solution). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

The precise mechanism by which Lacosamide oral solution exerts its antiepileptic effects in humans remains to be fully elucidated.

In vitro electrophysiological studies have shown that lacosamide selectively enhances slow inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels, resulting in stabilization of hyperexcitable neuronal membranes and inhibition of repetitive neuronal firing.

How the body breaks it down

Drug Interactions In Vitro Assessment of Drug Interactions In vitro metabolism studies indicate that lacosamide does not induce the enzyme activity of drug metabolizing cytochrome P450 isoforms CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19 and 3A4.

How it leaves the body

Metabolism and Elimination Lacosamide oral solution is primarily eliminated from the systemic circulation by renal excretion and biotransformation.
