Scientific Evidence

Lamotrigine, the active ingredient in Epileptal tablets, is an antiepileptic drug that works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain. It is believed to inhibit the release of glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in seizure activity.

Several clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of lamotrigine in reducing seizure frequency and improving seizure control in patients with epilepsy. A study published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry found that lamotrigine was effective in reducing seizure frequency by 50% or more in a significant proportion of patients.

Additional Information

It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully when taking Epileptal tablets. Do not stop taking the medication abruptly as it may lead to an increase in seizures. Inform your doctor of any side effects or concerns while taking this medication.

Before starting Epileptal, inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions. Monitor for signs of suicidal thoughts or behavior, especially in the initial months of treatment.
