Tolerability and Safety of Lacosamide in Neonatal Population.
Journal of Child Neurology 2023 March
Lacosamide is a newer antiepileptic medication used in refractory neonatal seizures with limited safety and efficacy data. This case series spans 4 years and includes 38 neonates cared for in the neonatal, pediatric, and cardiovascular intensive care units, who received lacosamide for refractory seizures. Because lacosamide affects atrioventricular node function in adults, among other metrics, electrocardiogram (ECG) changes were monitored closely in these neonates. Within this cohort, 2 neonates were found to have atrial bigeminy on ECG and telemetry. Otherwise, lacosamide was generally well tolerated with sleepiness being the most common symptom noted. This case series reports data on the tolerability of lacosamide and emphasizes the importance of monitoring key cardiac intervals with ECG before and after the use of lacosamide in this population.
