Lamitor DT 100 Tablet is an anti-epileptic medication used to manage epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It helps prevent seizures by stabilizing electrical signals in the brain and also works to reduce extreme mood fluctuations in bipolar disorder. This medicine may be taken alone or with other medications, and can be consumed with or without food. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose, which may be gradually increased to reach optimal results. Although the effects may take a few weeks to become noticeable, it’s important to take the medicine consistently as prescribed. Do not discontinue use without medical guidance, as this could lead to increased seizures or worsening mood symptoms.
Common side effects may include rash, headache, nausea, vomiting, trouble sleeping, and dizziness. Most of these effects are mild and improve over time, but consult your doctor if they persist or worsen. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop a skin rash or peeling, as this could indicate a serious reaction. Prolonged use of this medicine may lead to reduced bone strength, potentially increasing the risk of fractures.
Before starting Lamitor DT 100, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney issues, a history of depression, or suicidal thoughts. It’s also essential to disclose any other medicines you are taking, as certain drugs, including hormonal contraceptives, may interact with this medication. If you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding, your doctor may need to adjust your treatment. Since the medication can cause drowsiness or dizziness, avoid driving or operating machinery until you understand how it affects you. Regular blood tests may be recommended to monitor your response and ensure safety during treatment.
