Can lacosamide be used to manage high blood pressure?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for lacosamide

Based on the information available, there is no evidence or indication that Lacosamide is used for managing high blood pressure. Lacosamide is primarily used as an antiepileptic drug, approved by the FDA for the treatment of partial-onset seizures in patients 17 years and older [1]. It functions by inhibiting voltage-gated sodium channels, which helps in controlling seizure activity [1].

Furthermore, the drug's patent information from DrugPatentWatch.com does not mention any application for managing hypertension [2].

In summary, Lacosamide is not used to manage high blood pressure. It is primarily used as an antiepileptic drug.
