WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET What Lamictal is and what it is used for What you need to know before you take Lamictal How to take Lamictal Possible side effects How to store Lamictal 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. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE LAMICTAL DO NOT TAKE LAMIC Les hele dokumentet
