WHAT LACOSAMIDE ADROIQ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT LACOSAMIDE ADROIQ IS
Lacosamide Adroiq contains lacosamide. This belongs to a group of
medicines called
“antiepileptic medicines”. These medicines are used to treat
epilepsy.
•
You have been given this medicine to lower the number of fits
(seizures) you have.
WHAT LACOSAMIDE ADROIQ IS USED FOR
•
Lacosamide Adroiq is used:

on its own and in association with other antiepileptic medicines in
adults, adolescents
and children aged 2 years and older to treat a certain type of
epilepsy characterised by
the occurrence of partial-onset seizure with or without secondary
generalisation. In this
type of epilepsy, fits first affect only one side of your brain.
However, these may then
spread to larger areas on both sides of your brain;

in association with other antiepileptic medicines in adults,
adolescents and children aged
4 years and older to treat primary generalised tonic- clonic seizures
(major fits,
including loss of consciousness) in patients with idiopathic
generalised epilepsy (the
type of epilepsy that is thought to have a genetic cause).

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The physician should prescribe the most appropriate formulation and
strength according to weight and
dose.
Lacosamide therapy can be initiated with either oral administration
(either tablets or syrup) or
intravenous administration (solution for infusion). Solution for
infusion is an alternative for patients
when oral administration is temporarily not feasible. The overall
duration of treatment with
intravenous lacosamide is at the physician’s discretion; there is
experience from clinical studies with
twice daily infusions of lacosamide for up to 5 days in adjunctive
therapy. Conversion to or from oral
and intravenous administration can be done directly without titration.
The total daily dose and twice
daily administration should be maintained. Monitor closely patients
