Lamez

Lamez works by stabilizing abnormal electrical activity on the brain to maintain mental balance. The active ingredient Lamotrigine belongs to a class of medications called anti-epileptics. Lamez can be used alone or along with other types of medication to treat seizures in patients suffering from Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or epilepsy. Some patients may also use Lamez to increase the time between episodes of mania, bipolar disorder or depression.

Lamez should be used as directed by a doctor, usually 1 to 2 times per day. The dispersible tablets can be chewed, swallowed whole or dispersed in 1 teaspoon of liquids for 1 minute before consuming. Contact a doctor for the correct length of treatment and dosage as it will depend on the condition being treated and the patient’s response to the treatment. Do not discontinue the Lamez without consulting a doctor as abruptly discontinuing the medication may cause a return of the seizures or suffer from severe withdrawal symptoms.

Lamez may cause unwanted side effects such as: loss of coordination, tremors, upset stomach, vomiting, nausea, vision problems, headaches, drowsiness, dizziness.

Immediately proceed to your nearest emergency department if you suffer an allergic reaction. Symptoms usually associated with such a reaction include difficulty breathing or swallowing, chest tightness, swelling, skin rashes, and hives.

Lamez is not always suitable for all patients. Always consult your health care provider prior to using Lamez if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to conceive, using any other medication (prescription or non-prescription), using any herbal products or supplements, or if you have any allergies or other health problems.

The correct dosage and prescription commonly depend on the patient and the condition being treated. Do not adjust your dosage without the approval of your health care provider. Lamez is only for use as prescribed and instructed.
