Patient summary
Lamotrigine 25mg to 200mg, as plain and dispersible tablets, used in the management of epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It blocks voltage-gated sodium channels.
Mechanism of action
Lamotrigine stabilizes neuronal membranes by inhibiting voltage-gated sodium channels, which limits the release of excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate. This mechanism supports control of seizure thresholds and mood stabilisation.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Use with caution as risks to the foetus are currently being evaluated. Breastfeeding: Small amounts pass into breast milk; monitoring is recommended.
Lamotrigine is an anticonvulsant that calms overactive nerve signals in the brain. It is used for epilepsy and to prevent mood episodes in bipolar disorder. It comes as 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg tablets; the original brand is Lamictal.
Lamotrigine may cause rashes, including serious rashes that may need hospital treatment or cause permanent disability or death; the dose is therefore increased slowly. Tell your doctor if you take valproate, which raises the rash risk (MedlinePlus). Any rash on lamotrigine needs a doctor straight away.
Buying Lamotrigine online
