Nhóm bệnh nhân đặc biệt
Lacosamide is metabolised to its major metabolite O-desmethyl (inactive) mainly by the CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 isoenzymes.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug labels for lacosamide cite that results from studies showed that there are no clinically relevant differences in the pharmacokinetics of lacosamide between CYP2C19 poor metabolisers (n=4) and extensive metabolisers (n=8), but plasma concentrations and the amount of the O-desmethyl metabolite excreted into urine were about 70% reduced in poor metabolisers.

There is no evidence supporting clinical CYP2C19 pharmacogenetic testing prior to initiating lacosamide treatment, and testing has not yet been addressed by currently available professional society practice guidelines.

Thông tin tư vấn bệnh nhân
This drug may cause dizziness or blurred vision, if affected, do not drive or operate machinery.
Chỉ số theo dõi
Perform ECG tracing before treatment initiation and at steady-state (in patients with conduction problems, severe cardiac disease and Na channelopathies). Monitor mental alertness, suicidal ideation and behaviour. Assess for signs and symptoms of conduction problems and DRESS.
Quá liều
Symptoms: Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, seizures (e.g. generalised tonic-clonic seizures, status epilepticus), cardiac conduction disorders, shock and coma. Management: Symptomatic and supportive treatment. May consider haemodialysis if necessary.
Tương tác
Increased systemic exposure with strong CYP2C9 (e.g. fluconazole) and CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. itraconazole, ketoconazole, ritonavir, clarithromycin). Increased risk of PR interval prolongation with carbamazepine, lamotrigine, pregabalin, and antiarrhythmics. May reduce systemic exposure with rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, and phenobarbital.
Tương tác với thức ăn
May reduce systemic exposure with St. John's wort. May increase effects of alcohol.
Tác dụng
Description:
Mechanism of Action: Lacosamide, a functionalised amino acid, selectively enhances the slow inactivation of voltage-gated Na channels, resulting in the stabilisation of hyperexcitable neuronal membranes and inhibition of repetitive neuronal firing. It binds to collapsin response mediator protein-2 (CMRP-2), a phosphoprotein involved in neuronal differentiation, polarisation, gene expression, and control of axonal outgrowth.
Pharmacokinetics:
Absorption: Rapidly and completely absorbed (oral). Bioavailability: Approx 100% (oral). Time to peak plasma concentration: 1-4 hours (oral).
Distribution: Volume of distribution: Approx 0.6 L/kg. Plasma protein binding: <15%.
Metabolism: Metabolised in the liver by the CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 isoenzymes to form its inactive metabolite, O-desmethyl-lacosamide.
Excretion: Mainly via urine (95%; approx 40% as unchanged drug, <30% as O-desmethyl-lacosamide, approx 20% as uncharacterised metabolites); faeces (<0.5%). Elimination half-life: Approx 13 hours.
