Lamotrigine
antiepileptic
Nothing to addWhat this medicine is for
Lamotrigine belongs to the category "antiepileptic". Antiepileptics stabilise the electrical activity of the brain to prevent seizures; they are taken regularly and not stopped abruptly.
In the case of Lamotrigine, this means: Treats epilepsy and, for some, neurological pain. It is most often a maintenance treatment, taken at regular times over long periods; its benefit is judged over time, not by how you feel on the day.

Do you need a supplement? No.
We put forward no supplement for Lamotrigine: that would be forcing a need that does not exist. The great majority of medicines call for no particular supplementation, and acknowledging this is part of the way we work. We design a supplement only where the data support it, across five specific classes.
