This is a summary of the risk management plan (RMP) for Lacosamide 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg film-coated tablets and Lacosamide 10 mg/ml syrup. The RMP details important risks of Lacosamide 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg film-coated tablets and Lacosamide 10 mg/ml syrup, how these risks can be minimised, and how more information will be obtained about Lacosamide 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg film-coated tablets and Lacosamide 10 mg/ml syrup’s risks and uncertainties (missing information).

Lacosamide 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg film-coated tablets and Lacosamide 10 mg/ml syrup’s summary of product characteristics (SmPC) and its package leaflet give essential information to healthcare professionals and patients on how Lacosamide 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg film-coated tablets and Lacosamide 10 mg/ml syrup should be used.

• I. The medicine and what it is used for

Lacosamide 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg film-coated tablets and Lacosamide 10 mg/ml syrup are authorised as monotherapy and adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial-onset seizures (see SmPC for the full indication). It contains lacosamide as the active substance and it is given by oral route.

• II. Risks associated with the medicine and activities to minimise or further characterise the risks

Important risks of Lacosamide 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg film-coated tablets and Lacosamide 10 mg/ml syrup, together with measures to minimize such risks, are outlined below.

Measures to minimise the risks identified for Lacosamide 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg film-coated tablets and Lacosamide 10 mg/ml syrup:

• Specific information, including warnings, precautions, and advice on correct use, in the package leaflet and SmPC addressed to patients and healthcare professionals;
• Important advice on the medicine’s pac­kaging;
• The authorised pack size — the amount of medicine in a pack is chosen so to ensure that the medicine is used correctly;
• The medicine’s legal status — the way a medicine is supplied to the patient (e.g. with or without prescription) can help to minimise its risks.

Together, these measures will constitute routine risk minimisation measures.

In addition to these measures, information about adverse reactions is collected continuously and regularly analysed, so that immediate action can be taken as necessary. These measures constitute routine pharmacovigilance activities.

The important information that may affect the safe use of Lacosamide 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg film-coated tablets and Lacosamide 10 mg/ml syrup is not yet available, it is listed under ‘missing information’ below.
