Overview Lacodap 100mg Tablet

Epileptic seizures are managed and prevented with 100mg Lacodap tablets. These tablets reduce excessive, irregular brain cell activity, thereby controlling seizures. Lacodap 100mg can be administered with or without food, ideally at the same time daily. Missed doses should be taken immediately upon recall; because omitting doses can be dangerous, maintaining a backup supply is advisable. Complete the prescribed course, even with symptom improvement; discontinuation should only occur under a physician's supervision to prevent increased seizure frequency. Pre-existing heart conditions must be disclosed to your doctor before commencing treatment. Potential side effects include headaches, dizziness, dry mouth, muscle stiffness, blurred or double vision, nausea. These are often transient and resolve spontaneously. Monitor your weight, as weight gain is a possible consequence; healthy eating and exercise can help mitigate this.
