Are there any known risks of hypertension with lacosamide use?



Lacosamide is an antiepileptic drug used to treat partial-onset seizures in adults. According to the Mayo Clinic [2], common side effects of lacosamide include dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting. However, there is no mention of hypertension as a potential side effect.

A study published in the Journal of Epilepsy Research [3] investigated the effects of lacosamide on blood pressure in patients with epilepsy. The study found that lacosamide did not have a significant effect on blood pressure in patients with epilepsy, and that it was generally well-tolerated.

DrugPatentWatch [1] does not provide information on the potential side effects of lacosamide.

In conclusion, based on the sources provided, there is no evidence to suggest that lacosamide use is associated with an increased risk of hypertension. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any medication, as individual responses to medication can vary.
