butcologic action

Lamictal has an anticonvulsant effect. Blocks potential-dependent sodium channels, stabilizes neuronal membranes and inhibits the release of glutamic acid, which plays a key role in the occurrence of epileptic seizures.

Indications and usage

Partial and generalized seizures, including tonic-clonic and associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (in adults and children), bipolar disorders in adults over 18 years of age with predominantly depressive phases.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity.

Precautions should be prescribed for renal failure.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Since lamotrigine is a weak inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase,

there is at least a theoretical risk of developing birth defects in the fetus when taking the drug during pregnancy.

In order to assess the safety of Lamictal during pregnancy, there is insufficient data. Currently, information on the use of Lamictal in lactation is incomplete. Lamotrigine is determined in breast milk at concentrations of 40-60% of its concentration in plasma. Some breastfed babies have a therapeutic plasma concentration of lamotrigine.

Adverse reactions

For the gradation of side effects, the WHO classification was used:

often (> 1 case per 100 appointments), sometimes (
