LAMICTAL can cause serious rashes requiring hospitalization and discontinuation of treatment. The incidence of these rashes, which have included Stevens-Johnson syndrome, is approximately 0.3% to 0.8% in pediatric patients (aged 2 to 17 years) and 0.08% to 0.3% in adults receiving LAMICTAL. LAMICTAL ODT should be placed on the tongue and moved around the mouth. The tablet will rapidly disintegrate, can be swallowed with or without water, and can be taken with or without food. Lamictal ODT is an anti-epileptic medication, also called an anticonvulsant. Lamictal ODT is used alone or with other medications to treat epileptic seizures in adults and children. This medicine is also used to delay mood episodes in adults with bipolar disorder (manic depression). Although benign rashes are also caused by lamotrigine, it is not possible to predict reliably which rashes will prove to be serious or life threatening. Accordingly, lamotrigine should ordinarily be discontinued at the first sign of rash, unless the rash is clearly not drug related. Overview: Lamotrigine is a medicine that is used to manage certain types of seizures or bipolar disorder. The most common side effects of lamotrigine are dizziness, drowsiness, tremor.

Lamotrigine is used alone or together with other medicines to help control certain types of seizures (eg, partial seizures, tonic-clonic seizures, or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome) in the treatment of epilepsy. LAMICTAL ODT orally disintegrating tablets are formulated using technologies (Microcaps and AdvaTab) designed to mask the bitter taste of lamotrigine and achieve a rapid dissolution profile. To avoid an increased risk of rash, the recommended initial dose and subsequent dose escalations should not be exceeded. LAMICTAL Starter Kits and LAMICTAL ODT Patient Titration Kits are available for the first 5 weeks of treatment.
