CONTENTS OF THE PACK AND OTHER INFORMATION
1.
WHAT LAMICTAL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Lamictal belongs to a group of medicines called _anti-epileptics_. It
is used to treat two conditions
— EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER.
LAMICTAL TREATS EPILEPSY by blocking the signals in the brain that
trigger epileptic seizures
(fits).

For adults and children aged 13 years and over, Lamictal can be used
on its own or with
other medicines, to treat epilepsy. Lamictal can also be used with
other medicines to treat
the seizures that occur with a condition called Lennox-Gastaut
syndrome.

For children aged between 2 and 12 years, Lamictal can be used with
other medicines, to
treat those conditions. It can be used on its own to treat a type of
epilepsy called typical
absence seizures.
LAMICTAL ALSO TREATS BIPOLAR DISORDER.
People with bipolar disorder (sometimes called _manic depression_)
have extreme mood swings,
with periods of mania (excitement or euphoria) alternating with
periods of depression (deep
sadness or despair). For adults aged 18 years and over, Lamictal can
be used on
