People with poor kidney function usually need to take less Vimpat and may take it less often, because it stays in their body longer. Vimpat (lacosamide) is generally used as add-on (adjunctive) therapy for partial seizures in individuals age 17 years and older whose seizures are not well controlled by other medications.
Do you have an enlarged thyroid? If your doctor has diagnosed you as having thyroid nodules, a thyroid lump, or an enlargement of the thyroidâknown as goiterâyou'll want to learn more about the signs, symptoms, tests, and treatments for these thyroid conditions.
With hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, the thyroid can also become enlarged, so much so that you can feel or see it. When this happens, it's called a goiter. Some goiters are diffuse, which means the entire thyroid gland is enlarged. In other cases, goiters are nodular or the thyroid has bumps in it.
