Lamez Od 100 1*10Tab

Lamez OD 100 Tablet contains Lamotrigine and belongs to the group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptic medications. This tablet is primarily used for:

Treating epilepsy, which includes various types of seizures such as generalized tonic-clonic seizures, partial seizures, and seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. It helps control sudden, excessive electrical discharges in the brain that cause seizures.

Managing bipolar disorder (specifically bipolar I disorder) by stabilizing mood and preventing extreme mood swings including mania, hypomania, and depressive episodes.

How It Works
Lamotrigine reduces excessive nerve activity in the brain by inhibiting voltage-sensitive sodium channels and suppressing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate. This stabilizes nerve cell electrical activity, preventing seizure episodes and mood swings.

Follow the doctor’s prescribed dose strictly.

Tablets should be swallowed whole with water.

Gradual dose titration is important to reduce side effects.
