LASMIDTIME 50

Lasmidtime 50 is a tablet for treating a migraine attack once it has begun. Each tablet contains 50 mg of lasmiditan, the first medicine in a newer class of migraine drugs called ditans.

How does it work? Migraine involves activation of the trigeminal nerve system, which releases pain-signalling chemicals and sensitises the pain pathways in and around the brain. Lasmiditan binds selectively to 5-HT1F receptors on these nerve pathways. This action is thought to:

• Reduce the release of pain-related signalling chemicals from trigeminal nerve endings
• Calm the transmission of pain signals within the brain's pain-processing areas

Why Is Lasmiditan 50 mg Important?

Migraine is far more than a headache. Attacks can bring throbbing one-sided pain, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, and a day or more of lost work and family time. Migraine is common in India, affects women more often, and often goes undiagnosed or is treated with plain painkillers that do not fully help.

Lasmiditan matters for five reasons:

1. It offers a new mechanism. When triptans or NSAIDs do not work, or are not suitable, lasmiditan gives neurologists another acute option.
2. It does not constrict blood vessels. For patients with cardiovascular risk factors, this can be a meaningful advantage, though the doctor must still weigh the whole picture.
3. It targets the migraine pathway directly. Clinical trials showed that a single dose could relieve headache pain at 2 hours and reduce the most bothersome associated symptom (such as nausea or light sensitivity) in a significant share of patients.
4. It is taken only when needed. It is not a daily medicine, which suits people who have occasional attacks.
5. The 50 mg tablet gives dosing flexibility. It is the lowest strength, and the doctor can choose the strength that suits the patient.

Steris Healthcare manufactures Lasmidtime 50 under WHO-GMP and ISO-certified quality systems, so neurologists, physicians, pharmacists, and distributors get consistent quality.

Key Benefits

• Option after other medicines have failed: Neurologists may use it when triptans are ineffective, not tolerated, or not advisable.
• On-demand use: Take it only during an attack, one dose at a time.
• Small, easy tablet: A simple oral dose with or without food.
• Compact 4-tablet strip: Matches the typical need of a few attacks per month and is easy to keep in a bag.

Precautions Before Taking 

Tell your doctor your full medical history before starting this medicine.

Do not use if:

• You are allergic to lasmiditan or any ingredient in the tablet
• You need to drive or use machinery within 8 hours of the dose

Use with caution or under close supervision if you have:

• Heart disease, a slow heart rate, or heart rhythm problems. Lasmiditan can lower heart rate by a few beats per minute, and people with an already slow heart rate or on rate-lowering medicines need extra care.
• High blood pressure. Blood pressure can rise after a dose in some patients.
• Liver disease, particularly severe
• A history of seizures or epilepsy. Seizures occurred rarely in studies, so caution is advised.
• Depression, anxiety, or a history of substance misuse. Lasmiditan acts on the central nervous system and has been classified as a controlled substance in some countries because of potential for euphoria and misuse.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding. Data are limited, so use only if the doctor decides the benefit outweighs the risk.
• Regular alcohol use or use of sedating medicines, which add to dizziness and drowsiness
