Lamret 25 Dt Tablet 10 contains lamotrigine (25 mg), which works on the body through several mechanisms:

• Inhibits Voltage-Sensitive Sodium Channels: Lamotrigine blocks specific channels in nerve cells that allow sodium to pass through, thereby stabilising neuronal membranes and preventing excessive electrical activity in the brain that can trigger seizures.

• Reduces Excitatory Neurotransmitter Release: By stabilising neuronal membranes, lamotrigine decreases the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate and aspartate, which are chemicals that stimulate brain activity and can contribute to seizures when present in excess.

• Modulates Mood-Regulating Neurotransmitters: Lamotrigine may weakly inhibit the release of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which are brain chemicals involved in regulating mood, helping to stabilise emotional states in people with bipolar disorder.

• Store at room temperature not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep the medicine protected from light and moisture.

• Store in the original packaging until ready to use.

• Keep out of reach of children.

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

• If you have epilepsy, keeping track of potential seizure triggers like missed sleep, stress, or specific foods can help you identify and avoid potential triggers that may worsen your condition.

• For those managing epilepsy or bipolar disorder, having consistent sleep patterns can help reduce the frequency of seizures or mood episodes.
