Monolam 100 MG Tablet 10 contains lamotrigine (100 mg) and works as follows:

• Sodium channel blockage: Lamotrigine blocks the voltage-sensitive sodium channels in the brain. This action decreases the release of certain brain chemicals, reducing abnormal electrical signals.

• Neurotransmitter modulation: By reducing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate and aspartate, lamotrigine helps stabilise the electrical activity in the brain. This mechanism is key to managing seizures and regulating mood, making it effective for both epilepsy and bipolar disorder.

• Store Monolam 100 MG Tablet 10 at normal room temperature.

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging to protect it from light and moisture.

• The location should be out of reach of children to prevent accidental consumption.

• Check the expiry date before each use; do not take if it's past this date.
