About L G 25mg Tablet DT

L G 25mg Tablet DT belongs to a group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits. Additionally, L G 25mg Tablet DT also treats bipolar disorder. Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. In epilepsy, the brain's electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures, sometimes leading to an unconscious state. Bipolar disorder is a severe brain disorder in which a person experiences extreme mood swings (variance in thinking) and frequent mood and behavioural changes.

L G 25mg Tablet DT contains 'Lamotrigine' that reduces the electrical impulses and subsequent firing of the nerve impulses that cause fits. Thus, L G 25mg Tablet DT decreases the excessive and abnormal nerve activity in the brain, thereby controlling seizures.

You are advised to take L G 25mg Tablet DT for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as skin rash, headache, nausea, vomiting, dryness in the mouth, insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), sleepiness, dizziness, back pain, fatigue, abdominal pain, blurred vision, double vision, impaired coordination, nasal congestion (stuffy nose), infection. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking L G 25mg Tablet DT for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Please do not stop taking L G 25mg Tablet DT without consulting your doctor to avoid worsening of seizures. Do not take L G 25mg Tablet DT if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy unless prescribed by the doctor, as it could lead to serious congenital disabilities. If you are of childbearing age, use effective contraception while taking L G 25mg Tablet DT. Consult your doctor before taking L G 25mg Tablet DT if you are breastfeeding. Contact your doctor if your child gets her first period whilst on treatment with L G 25mg Tablet DT. Do not drive or operate machinery as L G 25mg Tablet DT causes drowsiness and dizziness. Avoid consuming alcohol along with L G 25mg Tablet DT as it could lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness.
