Distributor inventory | Tablet

Epilepsy (partial and generalized seizures, including Lennox–Gastaut syndrome), Bipolar disorder (maintenance treatment to prevent mood episodes)

Lamotrigine is an antiepileptic medicine that stabilizes neuronal membranes by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels. This reduces excessive release of excitatory neurotransmitters (e.g., glutamate) and helps control seizures and mood swings.

Dispersible tablet: take exactly as prescribed. It may be dispersed in a small amount of water and swallowed immediately, or swallowed whole with water. Can be taken with or without food. Dose is usually started low and increased gradually; do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

Dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, insomnia, blurred/double vision, tremor, rash

Serious skin reactions (SJS/TEN) can occur, especially in the first 2–8 weeks or with rapid dose escalation; stop and seek urgent care if rash, blistering, mouth sores, fever or facial swelling occurs. Risk increases with valproate co-use. Monitor for suicidal thoughts/behavior and mood changes. Do not discontinue abruptly (may worsen seizures). Use caution in liver or kidney disease. May cause dizziness/blurred vision—avoid driving if affected.

Valproate (increases lamotrigine levels—requires lower dose/titration), enzyme inducers like carbamazepine/phenytoin/phenobarbital/primidone/rifampicin (decrease levels—may need higher dose), combined oral contraceptives containing ethinyl estradiol (can lower lamotrigine levels; lamotrigine may affect contraceptive hormone levels), sertraline and other CNS-acting drugs (additive dizziness/somnolence)

Store below 25°C, in original pack, protected from moisture and light. Keep out of reach of children.
