Lamez Od 100 Tablet contains lamotrigine (100 mg). Here's how it works in the body:

• Acts on Sodium Channels: Lamotrigine works by stabilising the neuronal membranes in your brain through its action on voltage-sensitive sodium channels. This helps reduce the erratic electrical activity in the brain that is common in epilepsy.

• Modulates Neurotransmitter Release: Lamotrigine also modulates the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, particularly glutamate and aspartate. By controlling the release of these neurotransmitters, it helps manage the symptoms of bipolar disorder.

• Inhibits Neuronal Firing: By blocking sodium channels, lamotrigine inhibits the sustained repetitive firing of neurons. This inhibition is considered to be the key mechanism underlying its anti-epileptic effects.

• Keep your Lamez Od 100 Tablet in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.
