glenmark pharmaceuticals inc., usa - lamotrigine (unii: u3h27498ks) (lamotrigine - unii:u3h27498ks) - lamotrigine 5 mg - lamotrigine tablets for oral suspension (chewable, dispersible tablets) are indicated as adjunctive therapy for the following seizure types in patients aged 2 years and older: lamotrigine tablets for oral suspension (chewable, dispersible tablets) are indicated for conversion to monotherapy in adults (aged 16 years and older) with partial-onset seizures who are receiving treatment with carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone, or valproate as the single antiepileptic drug (aed). safety and effectiveness of lamotrigine tablets for oral suspension (chewable, dispersible tablets) have not been established (1) as initial monotherapy; (2) for conversion to monotherapy from aeds other than carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone, or valproate; or (3) for simultaneous conversion to monotherapy from 2 or more concomitant aeds. lamotrigine tablets for oral suspension (chewable, dispersible tablets) are indicated for the maintenance treatment of bipolar i disorder to delay the time to occurrence of mood episodes (depression, mania, hypomania, mixed episodes) in patients treated for acute mood episodes with standard therapy [see clinical studies (14.2)] . limitations of use treatment of acute manic or mixed episodes is not recommended. effectiveness of lamotrigine tablets for oral suspension (chewable, dispersible tablets) in the acute treatment of mood episodes has not been established. lamotrigine is contraindicated in patients who have demonstrated hypersensitivity (e.g., rash, angioedema, acute urticaria, extensive pruritus, mucosal ulceration) to the drug or its ingredients [see boxed warning, warnings and precautions (5.1, 5.3)] . pregnancy exposure registry there is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to aeds, including lamotrigine, during pregnancy. encourage women who are taking lamotrigine during pregnancy to enroll in the north american antiepileptic drug (naaed) pregnancy registry by calling 1-888-233-2334 or visiting http://www.aedpregnancyregistry.org/. risk summary data from several prospective pregnancy exposure registries and epidemiological studies of pregnant women have not detected an increased frequency of major congenital malformations or a consistent pattern of malformations among women exposed to lamotrigine compared with the general population (see data) . the majority of lamotrigine pregnancy exposure data are from women with epilepsy. in animal studies, administration of lamotrigine during pregnancy resulted in developmental toxicity (increased mortality, decreased body weight, increased structural variation, neurobehavioral abnormalities) at doses lower than those administered clinically. lamotrigine decreased fetal folate concentrations in rats, an effect known to be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes in animals and humans (see data) . the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. clinical considerations as with other aeds, physiological changes during pregnancy may affect lamotrigine concentrations and/or therapeutic effect. there have been reports of decreased lamotrigine concentrations during pregnancy and restoration of pre-pregnancy concentrations after delivery. dose adjustments may be necessary to maintain clinical response. data human data: data from several international pregnancy registries have not shown an increased risk for malformations overall. the international lamotrigine pregnancy registry reported major congenital malformations in 2.2% (95% ci: 1.6%, 3.1%) of 1,558 infants exposed to lamotrigine monotherapy in the first trimester of pregnancy. the naaed pregnancy registry reported major congenital malformations among 2.0% of 1,562 infants exposed to lamotrigine monotherapy in the first trimester. eurap, a large international pregnancy registry focused outside of north america, reported major birth defects in 2.9% (95% ci: 2.3%, 3.7%) of 2,514 exposures to lamotrigine monotherapy in the first trimester. the frequency of major congenital malformations was similar to estimates from the general population. the naaed pregnancy registry observed an increased risk of isolated oral clefts: among 2,200 infants exposed to lamotrigine early in pregnancy, the risk of oral clefts was 3.2 per 1,000 (95% ci: 1.4, 6.3), a 3-fold increased risk versus unexposed healthy controls. this finding has not been observed in other large international pregnancy registries. furthermore, a case-control study based on 21 congenital anomaly registries covering over 10 million births in europe reported an adjusted odds ratio for isolated oral clefts with lamotrigine exposure of 1.45 (95% ci: 0.8, 2.63). several meta-analyses have not reported an increased risk of major congenital malformations following lamotrigine exposure in pregnancy compared with healthy and disease-matched controls. no patterns of specific malformation types were observed. the same meta-analyses evaluated the risk of additional maternal and infant outcomes including fetal death, stillbirth, preterm birth, small for gestational age, and neurodevelopmental delay. although there are no data suggesting an increased risk of these outcomes with lamotrigine monotherapy exposure, differences in outcome definition, ascertainment methods, and comparator groups limit the conclusions that can be drawn. animal data: when lamotrigine was administered to pregnant mice, rats, or rabbits during the period of organogenesis (oral doses of up to 125, 25, and 30 mg/kg, respectively), reduced fetal body weight and increased incidences of fetal skeletal variations were seen in mice and rats at doses that were also maternally toxic. the no-effect doses for embryofetal developmental toxicity in mice, rats, and rabbits (75, 6.25, and 30 mg/kg, respectively) are similar to (mice and rabbits) or less than (rats) the human dose of 400 mg/day on a body surface area (mg/m2 ) basis. in a study in which pregnant rats were administered lamotrigine (oral doses of 0, 5, or 25 mg/kg) during the period of organogenesis and offspring were evaluated postnatally, neurobehavioral abnormalities were observed in exposed offspring at both doses. the lowest effect dose for developmental neurotoxicity in rats is less than the human dose of 400 mg/day on a mg/m2 basis. maternal toxicity was observed at the higher dose tested. when pregnant rats were administered lamotrigine (oral doses of 0, 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg) during the latter part of gestation and throughout lactation, increased offspring mortality (including stillbirths) was seen at all doses. the lowest effect dose for pre- and post-natal developmental toxicity in rats is less than the human dose of 400 mg/day on a mg/m2 basis. maternal toxicity was observed at the 2 highest doses tested. when administered to pregnant rats, lamotrigine decreased fetal folate concentrations at doses greater than or equal to 5 mg/kg/day, which is less than the human dose of 400 mg/day on a mg/m2 basis. risk summary lamotrigine is present in milk from lactating women taking lamotrigine tablets (see data) . neonates and young infants are at risk for high serum levels because maternal serum and milk levels can rise to high levels postpartum if lamotrigine dosage has been increased during pregnancy but is not reduced after delivery to the pre-pregnancy dosage. glucuronidation is required for drug clearance. glucuronidation capacity is immature in the infant and this may also contribute to the level of lamotrigine exposure. events including rash, apnea, drowsiness, poor sucking, and poor weight gain (requiring hospitalization in some cases) have been reported in infants who have been human milk-fed by mothers using lamotrigine; whether or not these events were caused by lamotrigine is unknown. no data are available on the effects of the drug on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for lamotrigine and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from lamotrigine or from the underlying maternal condition. clinical considerations human milk-fed infants should be closely monitored for adverse events resulting from lamotrigine. measurement of infant serum levels should be performed to rule out toxicity if concerns arise. human milk-feeding should be discontinued in infants with lamotrigine toxicity. data data from multiple small studies indicate that lamotrigine plasma levels in nursing infants have been reported to be as high as 50% of maternal plasma concentrations. epilepsy lamotrigine is indicated as adjunctive therapy in patients aged 2 years and older for partial-onset seizures, the generalized seizures of lennox-gastaut syndrome, and pgtc seizures. safety and efficacy of lamotrigine used as adjunctive treatment for partial-onset seizures were not demonstrated in a small, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled withdrawal trial in very young pediatric patients (aged 1 to 24 months). lamotrigine was associated with an increased risk for infectious adverse reactions (lamotrigine 37%, placebo 5%), and respiratory adverse reactions (lamotrigine 26%, placebo 5%). infectious adverse reactions included bronchiolitis, bronchitis, ear infection, eye infection, otitis externa, pharyngitis, urinary tract infection, and viral infection. respiratory adverse reactions included nasal congestion, cough, and apnea. bipolar disorder safety and efficacy of lamotrigine for the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder were not established in a double-blind, randomized withdrawal, placebo-controlled trial that evaluated 301 pediatric patients aged 10 to 17 years with a current manic/hypomanic, depressed, or mixed mood episode as defined by dsm-iv-tr. in the randomized phase of the trial, adverse reactions that occurred in at least 5% of patients taking lamotrigine (n = 87) and were twice as common compared with patients taking placebo (n = 86) were influenza (lamotrigine 8%, placebo 2%), oropharyngeal pain (lamotrigine 8%, placebo 2%), vomiting (lamotrigine 6%, placebo 2%), contact dermatitis (lamotrigine 5%, placebo 2%), upper abdominal pain (lamotrigine 5%, placebo 1%), and suicidal ideation (lamotrigine 5%, placebo 0%). juvenile animal data in a juvenile animal study in which lamotrigine (oral doses of 0, 5, 15, or 30 mg/kg) was administered to young rats from postnatal day 7 to 62, decreased viability and growth were seen at the highest dose tested and long-term neurobehavioral abnormalities (decreased locomotor activity, increased reactivity, and learning deficits in animals tested as adults) were observed at the 2 highest doses. the no-effect dose for adverse developmental effects in juvenile animals is less than the human dose of 400 mg/day on a mg/m2 basis. clinical trials of lamotrigine for epilepsy and bipolar disorder did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients or exhibit a different safety profile than that of younger patients. in general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy. experience in patients with hepatic impairment is limited. based on a clinical pharmacology study in 24 subjects with mild, moderate, and severe liver impairment [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)] , the following general recommendations can be made. no dosage adjustment is needed in patients with mild liver impairment. initial, escalation, and maintenance doses should generally be reduced by approximately 25% in patients with moderate and severe liver impairment without ascites and 50% in patients with severe liver impairment with ascites. escalation and maintenance doses may be adjusted according to clinical response [see dosage and administration (2.1)]. lamotrigine is metabolized mainly by glucuronic acid conjugation, with the majority of the metabolites being recovered in the urine. in a small study comparing a single dose of lamotrigine in subjects with varying degrees of renal impairment with healthy volunteers, the plasma half-life of lamotrigine was approximately twice as long in the subjects with chronic renal failure [see clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . initial doses of lamotrigine should be based on patients’ aed regimens; reduced maintenance doses may be effective for patients with significant renal impairment. few patients with severe renal impairment have been evaluated during chronic treatment with lamotrigine. because there is inadequate experience in this population, lamotrigine should be used with caution in these patients [see dosage and administration (2.1)] .
