indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine in patients 12 years of age and older. none. pregnancy exposure registry there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to antiepileptic drugs (aeds), such as topiramate extended-release capsules, during pregnancy. patients should be encouraged to enroll in the north american antiepileptic drug (naaed) pregnancy registry if they become pregnant. this registry is collecting information about the safety of antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy. to enroll, patients can call the toll-free number 1-888-233-2334. information about the north american drug pregnancy registry can be found at http://www.aedpregnancyregistry.org/. risk summary topiramate extended-release capsules can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. data from pregnancy registries indicate that infants exposed to topiramate in utero have increased risk of major congenital malformations, including but not limited to cleft lip and/or cleft palate (oral clefts) and of being small for gestational age (sga) [see human data] . sga has been observed at all doses and appears to be dose-dependent. the prevalence of sga is greater in infants of women who received higher doses of topiramate during pregnancy. in addition, the prevalence of sga in infants of women who continued topiramate use until later in pregnancy is higher compared to the prevalence in infants of women who stopped topiramate use before the third trimester. in multiple animal species, topiramate demonstrated developmental toxicity, including increased incidences of fetal malformations, in the absence of maternal toxicity at clinically relevant doses [see animal data] . all pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, loss, or other adverse outcomes. the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies are 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. clinical considerations fetal/neonatal adverse reactions consider the benefits and risks of topiramate when prescribing this drug to women of childbearing potential, particularly when topiramate is considered for a condition not usually associated with permanent injury or death. because of the risk of oral clefts to the fetus, which occur in the first trimester of pregnancy before many women know they are pregnant, all women of childbearing potential should be informed of the potential risk to the fetus from exposure to topiramate. women who are planning a pregnancy should be counseled regarding the relative risks and benefits of topiramate use during pregnancy, and alternative therapeutic options should be considered for these patients. labor or delivery although the effect of topiramate on labor and delivery in humans has not been established, the development of topiramate-induced metabolic acidosis in the mother and/or in the fetus might affect the fetus' ability to tolerate labor. topiramate extended-release capsules treatment can cause metabolic acidosis [see warnings and precautions (5.4)] . the effect of topiramate-induced metabolic acidosis has not been studied in pregnancy; however, metabolic acidosis in pregnancy (due to other causes) can cause decreased fetal growth, decreased fetal oxygenation, and fetal death, and may affect the fetus' ability to tolerate labor. pregnant patients should be monitored for metabolic acidosis and treated as in the nonpregnant state [see warnings and precautions (5.4)] . newborns of mothers treated with topiramate extended-release capsules should be monitored for metabolic acidosis because of transfer of topiramate to the fetus and possible occurrence of transient metabolic acidosis following birth. based on limited information, topiramate has also been associated with pre-term labor and premature delivery. data human data data from pregnancy registries indicate an increased risk of major congenital malformations, including but not limited to oral clefts in infants exposed to topiramate during the first trimester of pregnancy. other than oral clefts, no specific pattern of major congenital malformations or grouping of major congenital malformation types were observed. in the naaed pregnancy registry, when topiramate-exposed infants with only oral clefts were excluded, the prevalence of major congenital malformations (4.1%) was higher than that in infants exposed to a reference aed (1.8%) or in infants with mothers without epilepsy and without exposure to aeds (1.1%). the prevalence of oral clefts among topiramate-exposed infants (1.4%) was higher than the prevalence in infants exposed to a reference aed (0.3%) or the prevalence in infants with mothers without epilepsy and without exposure to aeds (0.11%). it was also higher than the background prevalence in the united states (0.17%) as estimated by the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc). the relative risk of oral clefts in topiramate-exposed pregnancies in the naaed pregnancy registry was 12.5 (95% confidence interval=[ci] 5.9 to 26.37) as compared to the risk in a background population of untreated women. the uk epilepsy and pregnancy register reported a prevalence of oral clefts among infants exposed to topiramate monotherapy (3.2%) that was 16 times higher than the background rate in the uk (0.2%). data from the naaed pregnancy registry and a population-based birth registry cohort indicate that exposure to topiramate in utero is associated with an increased risk of sga newborns (birth weight < 10th percentile). in the naaed pregnancy registry, 19.7% of topiramate-exposed newborns were sga compared to 7.9% of newborns exposed to a reference aed, and 5.4% of newborns of mothers without epilepsy and without aed exposure. in the medical birth registry of norway (mbrn), a population-based pregnancy registry, 25% of newborns in the topiramate monotherapy exposure group were sga compared to 9% in the comparison group who were unexposed to aeds. the long-term consequences of the sga findings are not known. animal data when topiramate (0 mg/kg/day, 20 mg/kg/day, 100 mg/kg/day, or 500 mg/kg/day) was administered orally to pregnant mice during the period of organogenesis, the incidence of fetal malformations (primarily craniofacial defects) were increased at all doses. fetal body weights and skeletal ossification were reduced at the highest dose tested in conjunction with decreased maternal body weight gain. a no-effect dose for embryofetal developmental toxicity in mice was not identified. the lowest dose tested, which was associated with an increased incidence of malformations, is less than the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) for epilepsy (400 mg/day) or migraine (100 mg/day) on a body surface area (mg/m2 ) basis. in pregnant rats administered topiramate (0 mg/kg/day, 20 mg/kg/day, 100 mg/kg/day, and 500 mg/kg/day or 0 mg/kg/day, 0.2 mg/kg/day, 2.5 mg/kg/day, 30 mg/kg/day, and 400 mg/kg/day) orally during the period of organogenesis, the frequency of limb malformations (ectrodactyly, micromelia, and amelia) was increased in fetuses at 400 mg/kg/day and 500 mg/kg/day. embryotoxicity (reduced fetal body weights, increased incidences of structural variations) was observed at doses as low as 20 mg/kg/day. clinical signs of maternal toxicity were seen at 400 mg/kg/day and above, and maternal body weight gain was reduced at doses of 100 mg/kg/day or greater. the no-effect dose (2.5 mg/kg/day) for embryofetal developmental toxicity in rats is less than the mrhd for epilepsy or migraine on a mg/m2 basis. in pregnant rabbits administered topiramate (0 mg/kg/day, 20 mg/kg/day, 60 mg/kg/day, and 180 mg/kg/day or 0 mg/kg/day, 10 mg/kg/day, 35 mg/kg/day, and 120 mg/kg/day) orally during organogenesis, embryofetal mortality was increased at 35 mg/kg/day and an increased incidence of fetal malformations (primarily rib and vertebral malformations) was observed at 120 mg/kg/day. evidence of maternal toxicity (decreased body weight gain, clinical signs, and/or mortality) was seen at 35 mg/kg/day and above. the no-effect dose (20 mg/kg/day) for embryofetal developmental toxicity in rabbits is equivalent to the mrhd for epilepsy and approximately 4 times the mrhd for migraine on a mg/m2 basis. when topiramate (0 mg/kg/day, 0.2 mg/kg/day, 4 mg/kg/day, 20 mg/kg/day, and 100 mg/kg/day or 0 mg/kg/day, 2 mg/kg/day, 20 mg/kg/day, and 200 mg/kg/day) was administered orally to female rats during the latter part of gestation and throughout lactation, offspring exhibited decreased viability and delayed physical development at 200 mg/kg/day and reductions in pre- and/or postweaning body weight gain at 2 mg/kg/day and above. maternal toxicity (decreased body weight gain, clinical signs) was evident at 100 mg/kg/day or greater. in a rat embryofetal development study which included postnatal assessment of offspring, oral administration of topiramate (0 mg/kg/day, 0.2 mg/kg/day, 2.5 mg/kg/day, 30 mg/kg/day, and 400 mg/kg/day) to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis resulted in delayed physical development in offspring at 400 mg/kg/day and persistent reductions in body weight gain in offspring at 30 mg/kg/day and higher. the no-effect dose (0.2 mg/kg/day) for pre- and postnatal developmental toxicity in rats is less than the mrhd for epilepsy or migraine on a mg/m2 basis. risk summary topiramate is excreted in human milk [see data]. the effects of topiramate on milk production are unknown. diarrhea and somnolence have been reported in breastfed infants whose mothers receive topiramate treatment. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for topiramate extended-release capsules and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from topiramate extended-release capsules or from the underlying maternal condition. data human data limited data from 5 women with epilepsy treated with topiramate during lactation showed drug levels in milk similar to those in maternal plasma. contraception women of childbearing potential who are not planning a pregnancy should use effective contraception because of the risk of major congenital malformations, including oral clefts, and the risk of infants being sga [see drug interactions (7.4) and use in specific populations (8.1)]. adjunctive treatment for epilepsy pediatric patients 2 years of age and older the safety and effectiveness of topiramate extended-release capsules as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of partial onset seizures, primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, or seizures associated with lennox-gastaut syndrome have been established in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older and is based on controlled trials with immediate-release topiramate [see adverse reactions (6.1) and clinical studies (14.3, 14.4)] . the adverse reactions (both common and serious) in pediatric patients are similar to those seen in adults [see warnings and precautions (5) and adverse reactions (6)] . these include, but are not limited to: - oligohydrosis and hyperthermia [see warnings and precautions (5.3)] - dose-related increased incidence of metabolic acidosis [see warnings and precautions (5.4)] - dose-related increased incidence of hyperammonemia [see warnings and precautions (5.12)] pediatric patients below the age of 2 years   the following pediatric use information is based on studies conducted with immediate-release topiramate. safety and effectiveness in patients below the age of 2 years have not been established for the adjunctive therapy treatment of partial-onset seizures, primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, or seizures associated with lennox-gastaut syndrome. in a single randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled investigational trial, the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of immediate-release topiramate oral liquid and sprinkle formulations as an adjunct to concurrent antiepileptic drug therapy in pediatric patients 1 month to 24 months of age with refractory partial-onset seizures were assessed. after 20 days of double-blind treatment, immediate-release topiramate (at fixed doses of 5 mg/kg/day, 15 mg/kg/day, and 25 mg/kg/day) did not demonstrate efficacy compared with placebo in controlling seizures. in general, the adverse reaction profile for immediate-release topiramate in this population was similar to that of older pediatric patients, although results from the above controlled study, and an open-label, long-term extension study in these pediatric patients 1 month to 24 months old suggested some adverse reactions/toxicities not previously observed in older pediatric patients and adults; i.e., growth/length retardation, certain clinical laboratory abnormalities, and other adverse reactions/toxicities that occurred with a greater frequency and/or greater severity than had been recognized previously from studies in older pediatric patients or adults for various indications. these very young pediatric patients appeared to experience an increased risk for infections (any topiramate dose 12%, placebo 0%) and of respiratory disorders (any topiramate dose 40%, placebo 16%). the following adverse reactions were observed in at least 3% of patients on immediate-release topiramate and were 3% to 7% more frequent than in patients on placebo: viral infection, bronchitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, otitis media, upper respiratory infection, cough, and bronchospasm. a generally similar profile was observed in older pediatric patients [see adverse reactions (6.1)] . immediate-release topiramate resulted in an increased incidence of patients with increased creatinine (any topiramate dose 5%, placebo 0%), bun (any topiramate dose 3%, placebo 0%), and protein (any topiramate dose 34%, placebo 6%), and an increased incidence of decreased potassium (any topiramate dose 7%, placebo 0%). this increased frequency of abnormal values was not dose related. creatinine was the only analyte showing a noteworthy increased incidence (topiramate 25 mg/kg/day 5%, placebo 0%) of a markedly abnormal increase [see adverse  reactions (6.1)] . the significance of these findings is uncertain. immediate-release topiramate treatment also produced a dose-related increase in the percentage of patients who had a shift from normal at baseline to high/increased (above the normal reference range) in total eosinophil count at the end of treatment. the incidence of these abnormal shifts was 6% for placebo, 10% for 5 mg/kg/day, 9% for 15 mg/kg/day, 14% for 25 mg/kg/day, and 11% for any topiramate dose [see adverse reactions (6.1)] . there was a mean dose-related increase in alkaline phosphatase. the significance of these findings is uncertain. topiramate produced a dose-related increased incidence of hyperammonemia [see warnings and precautions (5.12)] . treatment with immediate-release topiramate for up to 1 year was associated with reductions in z scores for length, weight, and head circumference [see warnings and precautions (5.4), adverse reactions (6.1)] . in open-label, uncontrolled experience, increasing impairment of adaptive behavior was documented in behavioral testing over time in this population. there was a suggestion that this effect was dose-related. however, because of the absence of an appropriate control group, it is not known if this decrement in function was treatment related or reflects the patient's underlying disease (e.g., patients who received higher doses may have more severe underlying disease) [see warnings and precautions (5.6)] . in this open-label, uncontrolled study, the mortality was 37 deaths/1,000 patient years. it is not possible to know whether this mortality rate is related to immediate-release topiramate treatment, because the background mortality rate for a similar, significantly refractory, young pediatric population (1 month to 24 months) with partial epilepsy is not known. monotherapy treatment for epilepsy pediatric patients 2 years of age and older the safety and effectiveness of topiramate extended-release capsules as monotherapy for the treatment of partial-onset seizures or primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures have been established in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older and is based on controlled trials with immediate-release topiramate [see adverse reactions (6.1), clinical studies (14.1)]. a one-year, active-controlled, open-label study with blinded assessments of bone mineral density (bmd) and growth in pediatric patients 4 to 15 years of age, including 63 patients with recent or new onset of epilepsy, was conducted to assess effects of immediate-release topiramate (n=28, 6 to 15 years of age) versus levetiracetam (n=35, 4 to 15 years of age) monotherapy on bone mineralization and on height and weight, which reflect growth. effects on bone mineralization were evaluated via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and blood markers. table 11 summarizes effects of immediate-release topiramate at 12 months for key safety outcomes including bmd, height, height velocity, and weight. all least square mean values for immediate-release topiramate and the comparator were positive. therefore, the least square mean treatment differences shown reflect a topiramate induced attenuation of the key safety outcomes. statistically significant effects were observed for decreases in bmd (and bone mineral content) in lumbar spine and total body less head and in weight. subgroup analyses according to age demonstrated similar negative effects for all key safety outcomes (i.e., bmd, height, weight). * tblh = total body less head ** whereas no patients were randomized to 2 to 5 year of age subgroup for immediate-release topiramate, 5 patients (4 to 5 years) were randomized to the active control group. metabolic acidosis (serum bicarbonate < 20 meq/l) was observed in all immediate-release topiramate-treated patients at some time in the study [see warnings and precautions (5.4)]. over the whole study, 76% more immediate-release topiramate-treated patients experienced persistent metabolic acidosis (i.e., 2 consecutive visits with or final serum bicarbonate < 20 meq/l) compared to levetiracetam-treated patients. over the whole study, 35% more immediate-release topiramate-treated patients experienced a markedly abnormally low serum bicarbonate (i.e., absolute value < 17 meq/l and ≥ 5 meq/l decrease from pre-treatment), indicating the frequency of more severe metabolic acidosis, compared to levetiracetam-treated patients. the decrease in bmd at 12 months was correlated with decreased serum bicarbonate, suggesting that metabolic acidosis was at least a partial factor contributing to this adverse effect on bmd. immediate-release topiramate-treated patients exhibited an increased risk for developing an increased serum creatinine and an increased serum glucose above the normal reference range compared to control patients. pediatric patients below the age of 2 years safety and effectiveness in patients below the age of 2 years have not been established for the monotherapy treatment of epilepsy. preventive treatment of migraine pediatric patients 12 to 17 years of age safety and effectiveness of topiramate for the preventive treatment of migraine was studied in 5 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trials in a total of 219 pediatric patients, at doses of 50 mg/day to 200 mg/day, or 2 mg/kg/day to 3 mg/kg/day. these comprised a fixed dose study in 103 pediatric patients 12 years to 17 years of age [see clinical studies (14.5)] , a flexible dose (2 mg/kg/day to 3 mg/kg/day), placebo-controlled study in 157 pediatric patients 6 years to 16 years of age (including 67 pediatric patients 12 years to 16 years of age), and a total of 49 pediatric patients 12 years to 17 years of age in 3 studies for the preventive treatment of migraine primarily in adults. open-label extension phases of 3 studies enabled evaluation of long-term safety for up to 6 months after the end of the double-blind phase. efficacy of topiramate for the preventive treatment of migraine in pediatric patients 12 years to 17 years of age is demonstrated for a 100 mg daily dose in study 13 [see clinical studies (14.5)] . efficacy of topiramate (2 mg/kg/day to 3 mg/kg/day) for the preventive treatment of migraine was not demonstrated in a placebo-controlled trial of 157 pediatric patients (6 years to 16 years of age) that included treatment of 67 pediatric patients (12 years to 16 years of age) for 20 weeks. in the pediatric trials (12 years to 17 years of age) in which patients were randomized to placebo or a fixed daily dose of immediate-release topiramate, the most common adverse reactions with immediate-release topiramate that were seen at an incidence higher (≥ 5%) than in the placebo group were: paresthesia, upper respiratory tract infection, anorexia, and abdominal pain [see adverse reactions (6.1)] . the most common cognitive adverse reaction in pooled double-blind studies in pediatric patients 12 years to 17 years of age was difficulty with concentration/attention [see warnings and precautions (5.6)] . markedly abnormally low serum bicarbonate values indicative of metabolic acidosis were reported in topiramate-treated pediatric migraine patients [see warnings and precautions (5.4)] . in topiramate-treated pediatric patients (12 years to 17 years of age) compared to placebo-treated patients, abnormally increased results were more frequent for creatinine, bun, uric acid, chloride, ammonia, total protein, and platelets. abnormally decreased results were observed with topiramate vs placebo treatment for phosphorus and bicarbonate [see warnings and precautions (5.4) and adverse reactions (6.1)] . notable changes (increases and decreases) from baseline in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse were observed occurred more commonly in pediatric patients treated with topiramate compared to pediatric patients treated with placebo [see clinical pharmacology (12.2)] . pediatric patients below the age of 12 years safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 12 years have not been established for the preventive treatment of migraine. in a double-blind study in 90 pediatric patients 6 years to 11 years of age (including 59 topiramate-treated and 31 placebo patients), the adverse reaction profile was generally similar to that seen in pooled double-blind studies of pediatric patients 12 years to 17 years of age. the most common adverse reactions that occurred in immediate-release topiramate-treated pediatric patients 6 years to 11 years of age, and at least twice as frequently than placebo, were gastroenteritis (12% topiramate, 6% placebo), sinusitis (10% topiramate, 3% placebo), weight loss (8% topiramate, 3% placebo) and paresthesia (7% topiramate, 0% placebo). difficulty with concentration/attention occurred in 3 topiramate-treated patients (5%) and 0 placebo-treated patients. the risk for cognitive adverse reaction was greater in younger patients (6 years to 11 years of age) than in older patients (12 years to 17 years of age) [see warnings and precautions (5.6)] . juvenile animal studies when topiramate (0 mg/kg/day, 30 mg/kg/day, 90 mg/kg/day or 300 mg/kg/day) was administered orally to rats during the juvenile period of development (postnatal days 12 to 50), bone growth plate thickness was reduced in males at the highest dose, which is approximately 5 times to 8 times the maximum recommended pediatric dose (9 mg/kg/day) on a body surface area (mg/m2 ) basis. clinical studies of immediate-release topiramate did not include sufficient numbers of subjects age 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently than younger subjects. dosage adjustment may be necessary for elderly with creatinine clearance less than 70 ml/min/1.73 m2 . estimate gfr should be measured prior to dosing [see dosage and administration (2.3) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . the clearance of topiramate is reduced in patients with moderate (creatinine clearance 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 to 69 ml/min/1.73 m2 ) and severe (creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 ) renal impairment. a dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment [see dosage and administration (2.4) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . topiramate is cleared by hemodialysis at a rate that is 4 times to 6 times greater than in a normal individual. a dosage adjustment may be required [see dosage and

older. pediatric use information is approved for ucb, inc.'s vimpat® (lacosamide) injection. however, due to ucb, inc.'s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. lacosamide is indicated as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in patients 4 years of age and older. none. pregnancy exposure registry there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to antiepileptic drugs (aeds), such as lacosamide, during pregnancy. encourage women who are taking lacosamide during pregnancy to enroll in the north american antiepileptic drug (naaed) pregnancy registry by calling 1-888-233-2334 or visiting http://www.aedpregnancyregistry.org/. risk summary available data from the north american antiepileptic drug (naaed) pregnancy registry, a prospective cohort study, case reports, and a case series with lacosamide use in pregnant women are insufficient to identify a drug associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. lacosamide produced developmental toxicity (increased embryofetal and perinatal mortality, growth deficit) in rats following administration during pregnancy. developmental neurotoxicity was observed in rats following administration during a period of postnatal development corresponding to the third trimester of human pregnancy. these effects were observed at doses associated with clinically relevant plasma exposures (see data) . the background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. all pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. in the u.s. general population the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. data animal data oral administration of lacosamide to pregnant rats (20, 75, or 200 mg/kg/day) and rabbits (6.25, 12.5, or 25 mg/kg/day) during the period of organogenesis did not produce any effects on the incidences of fetal structural abnormalities. however, the maximum doses evaluated were limited by maternal toxicity in both species and embryofetal death in rats. these doses were associated with maternal plasma lacosamide exposures (auc) approximately 2 and 1 times (rat and rabbit, respectively) that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 400 mg/day. in two studies in which lacosamide (25, 70, or 200 mg/kg/day and 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg/day) was orally administered to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation, increased perinatal mortality and decreased body weights in the offspring were observed at the highest dose tested. the no-effect dose for pre- and postnatal developmental toxicity in rats (70 mg/kg/day) was associated with a maternal plasma lacosamide auc similar to that in humans at the mrhd. oral administration of lacosamide (30, 90, or 180 mg/kg/day) to rats during the neonatal and juvenile periods of development resulted in decreased brain weights and long-term neurobehavioral changes (altered open field performance, deficits in learning and memory). the early postnatal period in rats is generally thought to correspond to late pregnancy in humans in terms of brain development. the no-effect dose for developmental neurotoxicity in rats was associated with a plasma lacosamide auc less than that in humans at the mrhd. in vitro data lacosamide has been shown in vitro to interfere with the activity of collapsin response mediator protein-2 (crmp-2), a protein involved in neuronal differentiation and control of axonal outgrowth. potential adverse effects on cns development related to this activity cannot be ruled out. risk summary data from published literature indicate that lacosamide is present in human milk. there are reports of increased sleepiness in breastfed infants exposed to lacosamide (see clinical considerations). there is no information on the effects of lacosamide on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for lacosamide and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from lacosamide or from the underlying maternal condition. clinical considerations monitor infants exposed to lacosamide through breastmilk for excess sedation. partial-onset seizures safety and effectiveness of lacosamide for the treatment of partial-onset seizures have been established in pediatric patients 4 years to less than 17 years of age. use of lacosamide in this age group is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of lacosamide in adults with partial-onset seizures, pharmacokinetic data from adult and pediatric patients, and safety data in 328 pediatric patients 4 years to less than 17 years of age [see adverse reactions (6.1) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below 1 month of age have not been established. primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures safety and effectiveness of lacosamide as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in pediatric patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy 4 years of age and older was established in a 24-week double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study (study 5), which included 37 pediatric patients 4 years to less than 17 years of age [see adverse reactions (6.1) and clinical studies (14.3)] . safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 4 years have not been established. animal data lacosamide has been shown in vitro to interfere with the activity of collapsin response mediator protein-2 (crmp-2), a protein involved in neuronal differentiation and control of axonal outgrowth. potential related adverse effects on cns development cannot be ruled out. administration of lacosamide to rats during the neonatal and juvenile periods of postnatal development (approximately equivalent to neonatal through adolescent development in humans) resulted in decreased brain weights and long-term neurobehavioral changes (altered open field performance, deficits in learning and memory). the no-effect dose for developmental neurotoxicity in rats was associated with a plasma lacosamide exposure (auc) less than that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose of 400 mg/day. pediatric use information is approved for ucb, inc.'s vimpat® (lacosamide) injection. however, due to ucb, inc.'s marketing exclusivity rights, this drug product is not labeled with that information. there were insufficient numbers of elderly patients enrolled in partial-onset seizure trials (n=18) to adequately determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. no lacosamide dose adjustment based on age is necessary. in elderly patients, dose titration should be performed with caution, usually starting at the lower end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic function, decreased renal function, increased cardiac conduction abnormalities, and polypharmacy [see dosage and administration (2.1, 2.4, 2.5) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . no dose adjustment is necessary in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (clcr ≥30 ml/min). in patients with severe renal impairment (clcr <30 ml/min as estimated by the cockcroft-gault equation for adults; clcr <30 ml/min/1.73m2 as estimated by the schwartz equation for pediatric patients) and in those with end-stage renal disease, a reduction of 25% of the maximum dosage is recommended [see dosage and administration (2.4) and clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . in all patients with renal impairment, dose initiation and titration should be based on clinical response and tolerability. lacosamide is effectively removed from plasma by hemodialysis. dosage supplementation of up to 50% following hemodialysis should be considered. for adult and pediatric patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment, a reduction of 25% of the maximum dosage is recommended. patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment should be observed closely for adverse reactions, and dose initiation and titration should be based on clinical response and tolerability [see dosage and administration (2.5), clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . the pharmacokinetics of lacosamide has not been evaluated in severe hepatic impairment. lacosamide use is not recommended in patients with severe hepatic impairment. lacosamide is a schedule v controlled substance. abuse is the intentional, non-therapeutic use of a drug, even once, for its desirable psychological or physiological effects. in a human abuse potential study, single doses of 200 mg (equal to the maximum single dosage) and 800 mg lacosamide (equal to twice the recommended daily maintenance dosage) produced euphoria-type subjective responses that differentiated statistically from placebo; at 800 mg, these euphoria-type responses were statistically indistinguishable from those produced by alprazolam, a schedule iv drug. the duration of the euphoria-type responses following lacosamide was less than that following alprazolam. a high rate of euphoria was also reported as an adverse event in the human abuse potential study following single doses of 800 mg lacosamide (15% [5/34]) compared to placebo (0%) and in two pharmacokinetic studies following single and multiple doses of 300-800 mg lacosamide (ranging from 6% [2/33] to 25% [3/12]) compared to placebo (0%). however, the rate of euphoria reported as an adverse event in the lacosamide development program at therapeutic doses was less than 1%. physical dependence is a state that develops as a result of physiological adaptation in response to repeated drug use, manifested by withdrawal signs and symptoms after abrupt discontinuation or a significant dose reduction of a drug. abrupt termination of lacosamide in clinical trials with diabetic neuropathic pain patients produced no signs or symptoms that are associated with a withdrawal syndrome indicative of physical dependence. however, psychological dependence cannot be excluded due to the ability of lacosamide to produce euphoria-type adverse events in humans.
