About Lamitor Dt 50 Tablet 15

Lamitor DT-50 Tablet is used to manage epilepsy and to help prevent low mood in bipolar disorder in adults. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing lamotrigine, and belongs to a class of medicines called anti-epileptics.

In epilepsy this medicine helps control and reduce the frequency of seizures, and in bipolar disorder it helps stabilise mood over the long term by calming overactive electrical signals in the brain. The dose is increased slowly at the start of treatment, so take it exactly as prescribed. Use the dose, frequency and duration prescribed by your doctor.

Keeping a regular routine with adequate sleep, taking the medicine at the same time each day, and avoiding known seizure triggers where possible support treatment alongside this medicine.

Because this medicine can rarely cause a serious skin rash, tell your doctor straight away if you develop any rash, especially in the first weeks of treatment or after a dose increase, or if it comes with fever, blisters or mouth sores. Tell your doctor about any other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take before starting this medicine. Speak to your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Report any side effects that persist or become serious. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly or unless your doctor advises you to do so, as this can trigger seizures.
