Lamictal is an anti-epileptic drug for the treatment of partial and generalised seizures in adults and children. There is extensive experience with Lamictal used initially as ?add-on? therapy. The use of Lamictal has also been found to be effective as monotherapy following withdrawal of concomitant anti-epileptic drugs. Initial monotherapy treatment in newly diagnosed paediatric patients is not recommended (see CLINICAL TRIALS). Lamictal is indicated for the prevention of depressive episodes in patients with bipolar disorder.
