Lamitor OD 100 Tablet contains lamotrigine (100 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Sodium channel blockade: Lamotrigine blocks voltage-sensitive sodium channels in neurons, which helps reduce the excessive firing of nerve impulses in certain areas of the brain.

• Neurotransmitter regulation: It decreases the release of excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate (chemical messengers in the brain), which helps control abnormal electrical activity that can trigger seizures.

• Brain stabilisation: By regulating electrical activity in the brain, lamotrigine helps stabilise neural function, which is beneficial for controlling both seizures and the extreme mood swings associated with bipolar disorder.
