Lamictal is prescribed in combination with other anti-seizure drugs in the treatment of some types of seizures. It also is prescribed alone for treating partial seizures in patients 16 years and older when converting from the anti-epileptic drug valproate.
In addition, Lamictal is prescribed to help prevent the manic and/or depressive phases of bipolar disorder.

·3 Continue to take Lamictal even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.

Lamictal side effects

Severe, life-threatening rashes have occurred with Lamictal. The risk in children (for whom Lamictal is not approved) is as high as 1 in 50 to 1 in 100 patients. Rash is rare in adults, but the risk is increased if the dose is increased faster than recommended or if patients also are taking valproic acid. Nearly all reported rashes have occurred within 2 to 8 weeks of starting therapy. Patients taking Lamictal should report any rash to a physician immediately.
Severe liver disease has been reported with Lamictal rarely (less than 1 per 1000 patients).
As a general rule, anti-seizure medicines should not be abruptly stopped because of the possibility of increasing the frequency of seizures. In most cases, the dose of Lamictal should be gradually lowered over a period of at least two weeks.

The most commonly noted side effects reported by patients taking Lamictal (in combination with other anti-seizure medicines) are:
- Vomiting;
- Somnolence;
- Rash;
- Nausea;
- Headache;
- Double vision;
- Dizziness;
- Blurred vision;

Lamictal precaution

Tell your doctor if you have: other illnesses, heart problems, liver problems, kidney problems, allergies (especially drug allergies). Sunscreen and/or protective clothing is recommended to protect against possible severe rash triggered by sunlight. Use caution operating machinery or engaging in activities requiring alertness. Limit alcohol intake while taking Lamictal. Lamictal should be prescribed only if clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Lamictal is excreted into breast milk. Due to possible risks to nursing infants, breast-feeding while using Lamictal is not recommended. Consult your doctor.

Lamictal drug interactions

Lamictal can interact with valproic acid. When Lamictal is begun in patients already receiving valproic acid, the blood concentrations of valproic acid can decrease over a 3-week period. This may result in loss of seizure control. The risk of severe skin rash may be increased by combining Lamictal with valproic acid.
There may be a higher incidence of dizziness, double vision, and blurred vision in patients receiving carbamazepine together with Lamictal. The mechanism of this interaction is unclear.

Lamictal missed dose

If you miss a dose, take as soon as remembered; do not take if it is almost time for the next dose, instead, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.

Lamictal storage

Store at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (between 15 and 30 degrees C) away from moisture and sunlight. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep away from children and pets.
