Description
Lamictal 25 mg Tablets contain lamotrigine, an anticonvulsant medication used for the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It helps control seizures by stabilizing abnormal electrical activity in the brain and prevents mood episodes in bipolar disorder, including both depression and mania.
Dosage/Direction:
The initial dose is usually 25 mg taken once daily for the first two weeks, followed by gradual increases in dosage. This slow titration helps minimize the risk of side effects, particularly skin rashes. Your healthcare provider will tailor the dosing based on your condition and response to treatment. Tablets should be swallowed whole and can be taken with or without food.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, headache, and nausea. Rare but serious side effects may include severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome) and allergic reactions. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any severe symptoms.
