Prescription Required
Overview
Apo-Lamotrigine 100mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Lamotrigine 100mg. It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.
Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.
On DoctorOnCall, Apo-Lamotrigine 100mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.
Directions for Use
Take Apo-Lamotrigine 100mg Tablet at the same time(s) each day exactly as your doctor has scheduled it, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Keep a record of your titration schedule and follow it precisely – do not skip ahead or repeat steps without medical advice.
Dosage
Apo-Lamotrigine 100mg Tablet must be started at a low dose and increased very slowly according to a strict titration schedule set by your doctor – typically over several weeks – because increasing the dose too quickly significantly raises the risk of a serious skin rash. Never adjust your dose, even slightly, without your doctor’s specific instructions, and if you miss several days of doses, contact your doctor before resuming, as you may need to restart at the original low starting dose rather than your previous maintenance dose.
Shelf Life
Use this product before the expiry date stated on the packaging. Do not use the medicine if the expiry date has passed.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
Side Effects
- Headache
- Drowsiness
- Dizziness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Blurred vision
- Rash
- Insomnia
- Coordination problems
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to lamotrigine
- History of a serious skin reaction (e.g. Stevens-Johnson syndrome) to lamotrigine
Drug / Food Interactions
- Sodium valproate significantly increases lamotrigine blood levels and greatly raises rash risk – if combined, your doctor will use a much lower dose and slower titration
- Carbamazepine, phenytoin, and phenobarbital reduce lamotrigine levels and may require dose adjustment
- Hormonal contraceptives containing oestrogen can lower lamotrigine levels, and starting or stopping them may require your doctor to adjust your lamotrigine dose
- Other anticonvulsants may alter lamotrigine levels – always inform your doctor of any medicine changes
Quick Tips
- Follow your titration schedule exactly – never increase your dose faster than instructed
- Contact your doctor immediately at the first sign of any skin rash, no matter how mild it seems
- If you miss several days of doses, contact your doctor before restarting rather than resuming your previous dose
- Carry information about your condition and medicine, especially if you have epilepsy

Why is there no information here about what Apo-Lamotrigine 100mg Tablet is for?
Malaysian rules for prescription medicines limit public product pages to product, safety and handling information. Your doctor decides whether this medicine is appropriate for you and will explain it during your consultation, and your pharmacist can answer further questions when the medicine is dispensed.
How should I take Apo-Lamotrigine 100mg Tablet?
Take it exactly as written on your prescription label. Do not increase, reduce or skip doses on your own, and do not continue beyond the period your doctor has prescribed. Practical handling steps are set out in the Directions for Use section on this page.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
Take it as soon as you remember, unless your next dose is nearly due. In that case skip the missed dose and carry on with your usual schedule. Never take two doses together to make up for a missed one. If you miss doses often, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
How should I store Apo-Lamotrigine 100mg Tablet?

What should I do if I notice side effects?
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you, and seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.
Can I stop taking Apo-Lamotrigine 100mg Tablet on my own?
No. Speak to your doctor before stopping, pausing or changing the dose, even if you feel well or think you no longer need the medicine.
How do I get a prescription for Apo-Lamotrigine 100mg Tablet?
Customers in Malaysia can complete an online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor, who decides whether a prescription is appropriate, or upload a valid prescription already issued by their own doctor.
Orders going to Singapore are dispatched from Malaysia as an international delivery, so you need to hold a valid prescription or doctor’s letter for the medicine. Check the consultation and prescription upload options shown at checkout for your delivery address before placing the order.
How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Apo-Lamotrigine 100mg Tablet be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Apo-Lamotrigine 100mg Tablet registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
