What is Vimpat?

Vimpat is a prescription medicine used to treat partial-onset seizures in adults and children aged four years and older.

You usually take Vimpat twice a day, in the morning and evening, to keep your seizures at bay. Vimpat can be taken as a tablet that’s swallowed, as an oral solution that’s swallowed, or by injection into a vein (intravenous injection). Adults can take Vimpat in any of these ways, and this will be decided upon by your doctor. Children aged between four and 17 should only take Vimpat orally either as a tablet or an oral solution. Always take your Vimpat exactly as directed by the doctor who prescribed it to you.

More information on what is Vimpat and Vimpat dosage

Vimpat active ingredients

The active ingredient in Vimpat is called lacosamide. It’s an antiepileptic medicine that reduces your chances of having seizures. Lacosamide works by stopping certain circuits in your brain cells (neurons), called voltage-gated sodium channels, from activating in a repetitive way.

Lacosamide still allows your neurons to send signals, so doesn’t stop them working and doesn’t affect your brain function. But it does stop neurons that have been active for long periods from sending repeating signals over and over, which is thought to trigger epilepsy. Rather than affecting your whole brain, you can think of Vimpat as targeting and calming only those brain cells which are most likely to give you a seizure.
