About Lamictal 100mg Tablet DT

Lamictal 100mg Tablet DT is a medication used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It functions by blocking brain signals that can lead to seizures and also helps prevent extreme mood swings. This medicine can be taken alone or in combination with other medications. The dosage will be determined by your doctor and may gradually increase until your condition stabilizes. It may take a few weeks for Lamictal to take full effect, so it is crucial to take it regularly for optimal results. It is important not to stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor, even if you start feeling better, as this could lead to increased seizures or worsening of bipolar disorder.

Common side effects of Lamictal 100mg Tablet DT include skin rashes, headaches, nausea, vomiting, difficulty sleeping, and dizziness. Although most side effects tend to diminish over time, if they persist or become bothersome, it is advisable to inform your doctor. Immediate medical attention should be sought if you experience any skin rash or skin peeling. Prolonged use of this medication can potentially lead to weakened bones, increasing the risk of fractures.

Prior to starting Lamictal treatment, inform your doctor of any kidney or liver issues, depression, or suicidal thoughts. It is important to disclose all other medications you are taking, as they may interact with Lamictal. Special consideration is necessary if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the dosage may need adjustment. If Lamictal causes drowsiness or dizziness, refrain from activities requiring focus such as driving. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor your response to the medication.
