What does it do?

Lamotrigine is a medication belonging to the antiepileptic class, used to alleviate seizures and symptoms of certain neurological disorders. It helps prevent seizures by inhibiting excessive electrical activity in nerve cells.

Lamotrigine reduces excessive transmission of nerve signals by blocking sodium channels within nerve cells. This leads to the suppression of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, thereby decreasing the frequency and intensity of seizures.
