Lamotriz 100 Tablet 10 contains lamotrigine (100 mg), which works in the following ways:

• Neuronal Membrane Stabilisation: Lamotrigine stabilises neuronal membranes in your brain, helping to prevent the excessive electrical activity that can trigger seizures.

• Inhibition of Excitatory Neurotransmitters: It reduces the release of glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter in your brain that, when present in excessive amounts, can contribute to seizures and mood instability.

• Voltage-Sensitive Sodium Channel Modulation: Lamotrigine affects voltage-sensitive sodium channels in your brain, which are tiny pathways that control electrical signals. By modulating these channels, it helps regulate brain activity and prevents abnormal firing of nerve cells.

• Store at room temperature not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep the medicine protected from light and moisture.

• Store in the original packaging until ready for use.

• Keep all medicines out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

• If you have epilepsy, keeping track of potential seizure triggers like missed sleep, stress, or certain foods can help you identify patterns and better manage your condition.

• For bipolar disorder, maintaining regular daily routines for sleeping, eating, and physical activity can help stabilise mood fluctuations and complement the effects of lamotrigine.
