Lamotrigine

Drug Info for lamotrigine

Lamotrigine extended-release (long-acting) tablets are used with other medications to treat certain types of seizures in patients who have epilepsy. All types of lamotrigine tablets (tablets, orally disintegrating tablets, and chewable tablets) other than the extended-release tablets are used alone or with other medications to treat seizures in people who have epilepsy or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (a disorder that causes seizures and often causes developmental delays). All types of lamotrigine tablets other than the extended-release tablets are also used to increase the time between episodes of depression, mania (frenzied or abnormally excited mood), and other abnormal moods in patients with bipolar I disorder (manic-depressive disorder; a disease that causes episodes of depression, episodes of mania, and other abnormal moods). Lamotrigine has not been shown to be effective when people experience the actual episodes of depression or mania, so other medications must be used to help people recover from these episodes. Lamotrigine is in a class of medications called anticonvulsants. It works by decreasing abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

Lamotrigine is a medication used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder. Lamotrigine belongs to a class of medications called phenyltriazines. Lamotrigine is a generic medication also available under the brand name Lamictal by GlaxoSmithKline. Lamotrigine was first introduced in 1994 for the treatment of seizures. In the treatment of bipolar disorders and epilepsy, lamotrigine use is fairly common.
