VIMPAT (lacosamide) is a small-molecule anticonvulsant approved in 2008 for adjunctive treatment of focal seizures. It works through a novel mechanism of enhancing sodium channel inactivation and modulating collapsin response mediator protein-2 (CRMP-2). The IV formulation is used for acute seizure management and bridging in hospitalized patients.
