What is the most important information I should know about
lamotrigine?
1. Lamotrigine may cause a serious skin rash that may cause you to be
hospitalized or even cause death.
any time during your treatment with lamotrigine, but is more likely to
happen within the first 2 to 8 weeks
of treatment. Children and teenagers aged between 2 and 17 years have
a higher chance of getting this
serious skin rash while taking lamotrigine.
The risk of getting a serious skin rash is higher if you:
•
take lamotrigine while taking valproate [(valproic acid) or
(divalproex sodium)]
•
take a higher starting dose of lamotrigine than your healthcare
provider prescribed
•
increase your dose of lamotrigine faster than prescribed.
Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the
following:
•
a skin rash
•
blistering or peeling of your skin
•
hives
•
painful sores in your mouth or around your eyes
These symptoms may be the first signs of a serious skin reaction. A
healthcare provider should
examine you to decide if you should continue taking lamotrigine.
2. Other serious reactions, including serious blood problems or liver
problems.
Lamotrigine can also cause other types of allergic reactions or
serious problems that may affect
organs and other parts of your body like your liver or blood cells.
You may or may not have a rash
with these types of reactions. Call your healthcare provider right
away if you have any of these
symptoms:
•
fever
•
frequent infections
•
severe muscle pain
•
swelling of your face, eyes, lips, or tongue
•
swollen lymph glands
•
unusual bruising or bleeding
•
weakness, fatigue
•
yellowing of your skin or the white part of your eyes
3. Like other antiepileptic drugs, lamotrigine may cause suicidal
thoughts or actions in a very
small number of people, about 1 in 500.
Call a healthcare provider right away if you
