Lamotrigine is used to treat specific seizure types that occur in certain adults and
Valproate (as sodium valproate, valproate semisodium or valproic acid) is often used in combination with lamotrigine, but it does increase the blood level of lamotrigine
Lamotrigine, a phenyltriazine anticonvulsant, is a newer antiepileptic drug, introduced for treatment of seizure disorders in the early 90s
Many AEDs act by inhibition of voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels, or by potentiation of GABAergic inhibition [20,21]
Administration of the combined contraceptive pill causes a decrease in serum lamotrigine levels by about 50%, which may lead to loss of seizure control in some women
Its mechanism of action involves reducing only the frequency (and not amplitude) of excitatory postsynaptic currents in the CNS, causing a decrease in glutamate release while causing a concomitant increase in frequency and amplitude of
Duel_Juuls77 • Lamictal works by inhibiting sodium channels
Divalproex sodium (Depakote)
Results: Far more subjects (26/76 = 34%) had an increase of >25% in valproic acid concentration with lamotrigine than those who had a decrease of >25% (4/76 = 5
