The exact mechanism of action of lacosamide is not fully known; however, in vitro electrophysiological studies have shown that lacosamide selectively enhances the slow inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels, shifting the slow inactivation curve to more hyperpolarized potentials and augmenting the maximal fraction of channels in the slow inactivated state.
