Which item is Lacosamide (Vimpat)?

Which item is Lacosamide (Vimpat)?

• A. Promethazine + Codeine
• B. 200 mg Codeine / 100 mL or 100 grams
• C. Lacosamide (Vimpat)
• D. Ezogabine (Potiga)

Answer: (C)

Identifying the drug by its exact name and brand is what this item tests. Lacosamide is known by the brand name Vimpat, and it’s an anticonvulsant used to treat partial-onset seizures. The entry that explicitly lists Lacosamide (Vimpat) is the correct one because it matches the generic name with its brand. The other options refer to different substances or regulatory terms: promethazine combined with codeine is a cough/antihistamine product, not lacosamide; a statement about codeine concentration (200 mg per 100 mL or 100 g) relates to scheduling thresholds rather than naming a drug; and Ezogabine is a separate anticonvulsant with the brand Potiga, not lacosamide.
