Appearance of Placebo oral solution and tablets matched the Lacosamide oral solution and tablets. This arm includes subjects with epilepsy, who received a flexible dose of Lacosamide (LCM) oral solution or tablets, administered twice a day. Subjects weighing <30kg received 8mg/kg/day to 12mg/kg/day Lacosamide (LCM) oral solution; subjects weighing >=30kg to <50kg received 6mg/kg/day to 8mg/kg/day LCM oral solution; and subjects weighing >=50kg received 300mg/day to 400mg/day LCM tablets, or if unable or unwilling to swallow tablets may have received LCM oral solution, however, they were not permitted to exceed the maximum dose of LCM 400mg/day. The subject's body weight at Baseline (Visit 2) was used to determine the dose throughout the study.
