Lamez OD 150 Tablet SR

Product Introduction
Lamez OD 150 Tablet SR is a medicine used to manage epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It works by controlling the abnormal signals in the brain that lead to seizures and also helps in stabilizing mood swings.

This medicine can be taken alone or along with other medications, with or without food, as directed by your doctor. The dosage is usually started low and gradually increased depending on your response to the treatment. It may take a few weeks before you notice its full benefits, so it is important to continue taking it regularly. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it may cause seizures to return or worsen mood-related problems.

Some common side effects include rashes, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping. These side effects are generally temporary, but if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor. If you notice severe skin reactions such as peeling or a widespread rash, seek medical help immediately. Long-term use of this medication may weaken the bones and increase the risk of fractures.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, depression, or suicidal thoughts. Also, share details about any other medicines you are taking, especially hormonal contraceptives, as they may interact with this drug. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor, as dosage adjustments may be necessary. Since this medication can cause dizziness or drowsiness, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor your progress.
