About lamotrigine dispersible 100 mg

LAMOTROZEN 100 is a dispersible tablet formulation containing lamotrigine dispersible 100 mg as the active ingredient. It belongs to the class of antiepileptic drugs designed specifically for easier administration and fast absorption. This medication is widely prescribed in the management of neurological disorders, particularly epilepsy, due to its efficacy in stabilizing electrical activity in the brain. LAMOTROZEN 100 offers a practical option for patients who may have difficulty swallowing traditional tablets, allowing the medicine to be dissolved in water for easier intake.

What is LAMOTROZEN 100?

LAMOTROZEN 100 contains lamotrigine dispersible 100 mg, an anticonvulsant drug that works by inhibiting excessive neuronal firing through the blocking of voltage-sensitive sodium channels. This mechanism helps in preventing the spread of seizure activity throughout the brain and stabilizes mood in certain psychiatric conditions. The dispersible formulation enhances patient compliance, especially among children and elderly patients.
