Who It’s For

This treatment is indicated for seizure disorders in suitable adults and children, and for maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder in adults. People who have difficulty swallowing pills may benefit from the chewable dispersible form.

Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to lamotrigine or experienced a serious rash from it previously. Your clinician may avoid it in certain liver problems, and will weigh risks in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Patients with a history of severe skin reactions should discuss safer options.

Dosage and Usage

Follow the prescribed titration schedule from your clinician. The starting dose and weekly increases vary based on age, indication, and whether you take valproate, enzyme-inducing antiepileptics, or other interacting medicines.

Chew the tablet thoroughly, or disperse it in a small amount of water and swallow the entire mixture right away. Take it consistently at the same time each day with or without food. Do not change your dose or stop suddenly; abrupt changes can increase seizure risk. If you are unsure of timing with other medicines, review the official label or ask your clinician.

Strengths and Forms

The chewable dispersible form is commonly available in multiple strengths. Availability can vary by pharmacy and region.

• Chewable dispersible tablets: lamotrigine 5mg chewable tablets
• Other chewable dispersible strengths may include 2 mg and 25 mg

All strengths are intended to be chewed or dispersed before swallowing. Tablets are typically color- and imprint-coded to help avoid confusion; check your bottle label to confirm the strength dispensed.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to your next scheduled dose. If it is near the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double doses.

Long gaps in therapy may require re-titration to reduce the risk of serious rash. If you miss several days, contact your prescriber for guidance before restarting.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store tablets in the original container with the label intact. Keep at typical room temperature and protect from moisture. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

When you travel, carry your medication in your hand luggage with a copy of your prescription. Use a daily reminder or phone alert to help maintain adherence across time zones.

Side Effects and Safety

• Dizziness or drowsiness: may affect alertness

Serious but uncommon risks include severe skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, blood disorders, aseptic meningitis, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Seek urgent care if you develop widespread rash, mouth sores, fever, swollen glands, or worsening mood. Use caution with activities requiring alertness until you know how the medicine affects you.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Valproate can raise lamotrigine levels and may require lower dosing schedules. Enzyme inducers such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, or primidone can lower levels and may require different titration.

Hormonal contraceptives containing estrogen can affect lamotrigine concentrations. Other central nervous system depressants may add to dizziness or drowsiness. Always share a full medication list, including over-the-counter products and supplements, with your prescriber and pharmacist.
