Lamictal is an antiepileptic and mood stabilizer used to treat:

• Epilepsy (partial, tonic-clonic, and other generalized seizures)

• Bipolar I disorder (for the prevention of depressive episodes)

It is suitable for adults and children aged 2 and above. In epilepsy, it can be used alone or alongside other medicines. In bipolar disorder, it is not used to treat manic episodes, but helps prevent future depressive episodes, which are often longer-lasting and more disabling than manic or hypomanic episodes. It is a key part of long-term treatment plans to manage symptoms of bipolar and stabilize mood episodes.

Form and strengths available: Lamictal comes in the following formats and dosages:

• Tablets: 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg

• Chewable/Dispersible Tablets: 2 mg, 5 mg, 25 mg, 100 mg

These strengths allow flexible dosing for epilepsy or mood stabilization, especially in people with comorbid mental health conditions.
