 Lacosamide is used in combination with other types of medications to control various types of seizures, especially epilepsy.One of the ways lacosamide does this is by modulating CRMP-2, thus inducing neuroprotective effects and decreasing the epileptic effects in people suffering from epilepsy.CRMP-2 phosphorylated at Thr-509, Ser-518, and Ser-522 has been connected to the degenerating neuritis in Alzheimer's disease.
