WHAT LAMOTRIGINE GH IS
USED FOR
Lamotrigine (the active
ingredient in Lamotrigine GH)
belongs to a group of medicines
called "anti-epileptic drugs".
Lamotrigine GH are used for the
treatment of epilepsy in adults
and children over 12 years of
age.
Lamotrigine GH is initially used
in addition to other medicines for
the treatment of epilepsy.
Lamotrigine GH is also used in
partial or generalised seizures
including tonic-clonic seizures
and seizures associated with
Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.
An epileptic seizure, fit or turn
results when abnormal electrical
impulses occur in nerve cells in
the brain. These abnormal
electrical impulses are believed
to be due to altered levels of
some chemicals in the brain.
It is thought that Lamotrigine GH
work by changing the levels of
some of the chemicals
associated with seizures.
Your doctor may have
prescribed Lamotrigine GH for
another reason. Ask your doctor
if you have any questions about
why Lamotrigine GH has been
prescribed for you.
