Lamictal which contain Lamotrigine is an oral drug that is used primarily for treating seizures. It is chemically unrelated to other anti-seizure drugs.
14 March 2014, London,
( http://onlinepillmart.com/ ) : Lamictal which contain Lamotrigine is an oral drug that is used primarily for treating seizures. It is chemically unrelated to other anti-seizure drugs. The precise mechanism by which lamotrigine exerts its anti-seizure action is not known. The FDA approved lamotrigine in December 1974.
Indications : Lamotrigine is used in combination with other anti-seizure drugs for the treatment of partial seizures, tonic-clonic seizures, and seizures of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. It also is used alone for treating partial seizures in patients 16 years and older when converting from other anti-epileptic drugs. Lamotrigine also is used for preventing mood episodes in individuals 18 years or older with bipolar disorder.
DOSING: The dose of immediate release lamotrigine for seizures in patients not taking valproic acid (Depakote, Depakote ER, Depakene, Depacon, Stavzor), but taking seizure medications that reduce lamotrigine blood levels (for example, phenobarbitol, phenytoin [Dilantin, Dilantin-125] ,carbamazepine [Tegretol], primidone) is 50 mg once daily for two weeks, followed by 100 mg daily given in two divided doses for two weeks. Thereafter, the dose is increased by 100 mg daily every 1-2 weeks up to the usual maintenance dose of 300 to 500 mg daily given as a divided dose.
Drug interactions : Lamotrigine can interact with valproic acid. When lamotrigine is initiated in patients already receiving valproic acid, the blood concentrations of valproic acid can decrease over a 3-week period. This may result in loss of seizure control. Valproic acid increases lamotrigine levels. The risk of severe skin rash may be increased by combining lamotrigine with valproic acid. There may be a higher incidence of dizziness, double vision, and blurred vision in patients receiving carbamazepine together with lamotrigine. The mechanism of this interaction is unclear.
WARNING: Rarely, serious (sometimes fatal) skin rashes have occurred while taking this medication. These rashes are more common in children under 16 than in adults. Rashes may be more likely if you start at too high a dose, if you increase your dose too quickly, or if you take this medication with certain other anti-seizure medications (valproic acid, divalproex). These rashes may occur anytime during use, but most serious rashes have occurred within 2 to 8 weeks of starting lamotrigine.
SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects reported by patients taking lamotrigine are dizziness, somnolence, headache, double vision, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, and rash. Severe, life-threatening rashes have occurred with lamotrigine. The risk of rash is increased if the dose is increased faster than recommended or if patients also are taking valproic acid. Patients taking lamotrigine should report any rash to a physician immediately. Multiorgan failure, including fatal liver disease rarely has been observed during lamotrigine treatment.
Storage: Store at room temperature. Protect from heat , light and moisture. Keep away from reach of children.
