Lacosamide is an antiepileptic drug used to treat partial-onset seizures in adults with epilepsy [1]. According to the sources provided, hypertension is not listed as a common side effect of lacosamide. However, there are some reported cases of hypertension associated with the use of lacosamide [2].

A study published in the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health reported a case of a 67-year-old man who developed hypertension after being treated with lacosamide [2]. The patient had no prior history of hypertension and his blood pressure returned to normal after discontinuing lacosamide. The study concluded that lacosamide may cause hypertension, but further research is needed to confirm this association.

The Mayo Clinic lists high blood pressure as a rare side effect of lacosamide [3]. They recommend monitoring blood pressure regularly while taking lacosamide and seeking medical attention if any signs of high blood pressure occur.

In summary, while hypertension is not a common side effect of lacosamide, there have been reported cases of hypertension associated with its use. Patients taking lacosamide should monitor their blood pressure regularly and seek medical attention if any signs of high blood pressure occur. Further research is needed to confirm the association between lacosamide and hypertension.
