Mode of Action

Lamotrigine inhibits voltage-sensitive sodium channels, thereby stabilising neuronal membranes and consequently inhibiting pathological release of excitatory amino acids (e.g. glutamate and aspartate). These amino acids play a role in the generation and spread of epileptic seizures.

Interaction

Metabolism enhanced by enzyme-inducing drugs e.g. phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbitone, primidone, rifampicin, ethinyloestradiol/levonorgestrel combination. Metabolism reduced by sodium valproate.
