Lacoset 100 Tablet contains an active ingredient called lacosamide. Lacosamide works by reducing the abnormal and excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain, which helps in controlling seizures.
Here's how lacosamide works:
- Lacosamide blocks certain sodium channels in the brain, which are responsible for transmitting electrical signals between nerve cells.
- By blocking these channels, lacosamide helps to decrease the abnormal electrical activity that leads to seizures.
- It stabilizes the hyperexcitable neurons (nerve cells) and reduces their firing rate.
- Lacosamide also modulates calcium channels in the brain, which further contributes to its antiepileptic effects.
- Overall, lacosamide acts on multiple targets within the brain to regulate and normalize electrical activity, thereby preventing seizure episodes.
