Contents of the pack and other information
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 its own or with
other
medicines, to prevent the periods of depression that occur in bipolar
disorder.
It is not yet known how Lamictal works in the brain to have this
effect.
