Lacosamide is an anticonvulsant medication used to treat partial-onset seizures in adults with epilepsy. The frequency of Lacosamide intake is determined by a doctor based on the patient's condition and response to the medication.
According to the Mayo Clinic [3], Lacosamide is usually taken twice a day, with or without food. The dosage and frequency of Lacosamide intake may vary depending on the patient's age, weight, medical history, and other medications taken. The medication should be taken at the same time every day to maintain a consistent level of the drug in the bloodstream.
Epilepsy.com [2] advises that Lacosamide should be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible unless it is close to the time for the next dose. Patients should not take extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.
Drug Patent Watch [1] notes that Lacosamide is available in various forms, including oral tablets, oral solution, and intravenous injection. The frequency of Lacosamide intake may vary depending on the form of the medication prescribed.
In summary, Lacosamide is typically taken twice a day, with or without food, as prescribed by a doctor. The dosage and frequency of intake may vary depending on the patient's condition and response to the medication. Patients should not miss a dose and should not take extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.
