How to use Lamogine tablet 100mg?
- This strength is usually reached only after a slow dose increase from a lower starting tablet.
- Lamogine 100mg tablets are taken at the same time each day, with or without food.
- The final maintenance dose depends on whether valproate or enzyme inducing seizure medicines are also being used.
- Missed doses should not be doubled up, and any dose change should only happen on medical advice.
Drug Interactions
- Valproic acid: Raises lamotrigine levels significantly, so a lower dose and slower titration are needed.
- Carbamazepine, phenytoin, and phenobarbital: Lower lamotrigine levels, often requiring a higher maintenance dose.
- Hormonal contraceptives: Estrogen containing pills can reduce lamotrigine levels during active pill weeks.
- Rifampicin: Reduces lamotrigine levels through enzyme induction.
Risks and warnings
- Serious skin reactions: Even at maintenance doses, a rash appearing early in treatment should be reported the same day.
- Mood and behavior changes: New agitation, low mood, or thoughts of self harm should be reported to the prescribing doctor promptly.
- Kidney or liver conditions: Dose adjustment may be needed, so existing organ conditions should be disclosed before starting.
- Driving and machinery: Dizziness and blurred vision can affect concentration, so caution is advised until the response to treatment is known.
