Lalap Tablets 50Mg – Lacosamide for Epilepsy Management
Lalap Tablets 50Mg contains Lacosamide, an antiepileptic medication used to manage partial-onset seizures in adults aged 17 years and older. Lacosamide works by selectively enhancing the slow inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels in the nervous system. This stabilizes hyperexcitable neuronal membranes and inhibits repetitive neuronal firing, helping to prevent seizures. The medication also binds to collapsin response mediator protein-2 (CRMP-2), supporting neuronal function and differentiation.
This medication is indicated as a monotherapy for adult epilepsy patients, providing effective seizure control. It is not recommended for use in children under 16 or in patients with second- or third-degree AV block. Common side effects may include dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, diplopia, vertigo, and ataxia. Patients should inform their doctor about any existing heart conditions or psychiatric disorders, as antiepileptic drugs may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts.

How To Use
Use only as directed by your healthcare provider.
1. Take Lalap 50mg exactly as prescribed — typically 50mg twice daily at the start.
2. Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew.
3. Your doctor will increase the dose gradually every 7 days to reach the target maintenance dose.
4. Never stop abruptly — taper under neurologist supervision to avoid rebound seizures.
5. Monitor for dizziness, ataxia, or diplopia during titration and report to your doctor.
FAQs
Why is Lacosamide started at 50mg instead of a higher dose?
Starting at 50mg twice daily minimises CNS side effects such as dizziness, diplopia, and ataxia. The dose is then increased weekly under physician supervision until the effective maintenance dose (usually 100–200mg twice daily) is achieved.
Is the 50mg tablet different from the 100mg tablet other than the dose?
The 50mg and 100mg tablets contain the same active ingredient (Lacosamide) and have the same mechanism of action. The 50mg strength is specifically for titration and lower-dose maintenance in certain patients.
Does Lalap 50mg require a prescription?
Yes. Lacosamide is a prescription-only anticonvulsant. Submit your prescription via sales@derma.pk or WhatsApp +92-320-5999650.
