Overview
Torrent Lamitor 100mg Tablet contains lamotrigine, an anticonvulsant medicine used to treat epilepsy and to prevent mood episodes in bipolar disorder.
Lamotrigine works by stabilising overactive electrical activity in the brain, blocking sodium channels on nerve cells to reduce the repetitive firing that triggers seizures, and helping to stabilise mood in bipolar disorder.
How it Works
Torrent Lamitor blocks voltage-sensitive sodium channels in nerve cells, stabilising neuronal membranes and reducing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate; this dampens the abnormal repetitive nerve firing that causes seizures and helps regulate mood.
Directions for Use
Take exactly as prescribed, following the specific titration schedule given by your doctor; swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food. Never restart this medicine at your previous dose after missing several days without consulting your doctor.
Dosage
The dose is started very low and increased slowly over several weeks according to a strict titration schedule set by your doctor, as increasing too quickly significantly raises the risk of serious skin reactions.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
Side Effects
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Skin rash
- Drowsiness or sleepiness
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to lamotrigine or any other ingredient
Drug / Food Interactions
- Sodium valproate: significantly increases lamotrigine levels, requiring a much slower and lower dose titration to reduce the risk of serious rash.
- Carbamazepine, phenytoin, or phenobarbital: can lower lamotrigine levels, requiring dose adjustment.
- Hormonal contraceptives containing oestrogen: can lower lamotrigine levels, and lamotrigine may reduce contraceptive reliability – discuss contraception with your doctor.
- Inform your doctor of all medicines you are taking, as many interactions affect the correct starting dose and titration speed.
Quick Tips
- Follow your titration schedule exactly – increasing the dose faster than prescribed significantly raises the risk of a serious, potentially life-threatening skin reaction.
- Seek immediate medical attention if you develop a rash, especially with fever, blistering, or mouth sores, particularly in the first eight weeks of treatment.
- Do not stop this medicine suddenly if you have epilepsy, as this can trigger seizures – your doctor will taper the dose if it needs to be stopped.
- Tell your doctor immediately if you have missed several doses in a row, as restarting at your previous dose can increase the risk of side effects.
