Lametec Kid Tablet DT

Lametec Kid Tablet DT is a tablet form of lamotrigine, an anticonvulsant medicine used to help control seizures. Each Lametec Kid Tablet DT contains lamotrigine in the strength shown on the pack label, and it is made by Cipla Ltd. This medicine is prescribed for certain seizure disorders and, in some patients, for mood-related conditions as directed by a doctor.

How it works: Lamotrigine helps calm overactive nerve signals in the brain, which can reduce the chance of seizures. As a tablet, Lametec Kid Tablet DT is taken by mouth and is designed to be swallowed after dispersing in water, making dose adjustment easier for patients who need precise titration.

Lametec Kid Tablet DT is the child-friendly, dispersible tablet version of lamotrigine, which can be easier to prepare than a standard swallow-only tablet. Compared with the higher-strength Lametec 100 OD Tablet SR, this product is intended for more flexible dosing and is often chosen when a doctor wants smaller, carefully adjusted doses rather than a once-daily sustained-release tablet.

• Partial-onset seizures
• Generalized tonic-clonic seizures
• Seizure control in epilepsy
• Doctor-directed mood stabilization in selected patients

• Disperse the Lametec Kid Tablet DT in a small amount of water and take it right away, unless your doctor or the pack instructions say otherwise.
• Take it exactly at the time your doctor prescribes; do not change the schedule on your own.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it the same way each day can help you remember.
• Do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor says the tablet is meant to be dispersed for your dose.
• Measure the water used to disperse the tablet carefully so you take the full dose.
• If a dose is missed, follow your prescriber’s advice or the label instructions rather than doubling up unless instructed.

Each Lametec Kid Tablet DT provides the lamotrigine strength listed on the carton/strip, so the exact dose is set by that label and by your prescriber’s plan. It may be taken once daily or in divided doses depending on the condition being treated, and there is no single maximum daily dose for every patient because the doctor adjusts it based on response, age, and other medicines. This is a carefully titrated anticonvulsant medicine, so Lametec Kid Tablet DT should only be used in the dose and schedule your doctor chooses.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Lamotrigine may include:

• Dizziness
• Headache
• Blurred or double vision
• Nausea
• Sleepiness
• Unsteadiness or poor coordination
• Rash

• Lametec Kid Tablet DT can cause a serious rash, and the risk is higher when the dose is increased too quickly.
• Do not stop lamotrigine suddenly unless your doctor tells you to, because seizures can worsen.
• Use caution with driving or operating machinery until you know how this tablet affects alertness and balance.
• Tell your doctor about any history of liver disease, kidney disease, or prior drug rash.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding need medical review because dose needs may change.
• Alcohol may worsen dizziness or sleepiness while taking Lametec Kid Tablet DT.
• If the tablet is dispersed for a child, make sure the full dose is taken immediately after preparation.

• Valproate can raise lamotrigine levels and may require a lower Lametec Kid Tablet DT dose.
• Carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, and primidone can change lamotrigine levels.
• Hormonal birth control can affect lamotrigine dosing needs.
• Rifampin may lower lamotrigine levels.
• Other medicines that cause dizziness or sleepiness can add to side effects.
