Overview

Vimpat is a medicine used on its own or as an add-on to other epilepsy medicines in the treatment of partial-onset seizures (epileptic fits starting in one specific part of the brain) with or without secondary generalisation (where the abnormal electrical activity spreads through the brain) in patients with epilepsy aged 24 years and older.

Vimpat can also be used as add-on to other epilepsy medicines in the treatment of primary generalised tonic-clonic seizures (major fits, including loss of consciousness) in patients from 4 years of age with idiopathic generalised epilepsy (the type of epilepsy that is thought to have a genetic cause).

Vimpat contains the active substance lacosamide.
