What is Lametec 25 mg used for?

 Lamotrigine, an active ingredient of Lametec, works by stabilizing the hyper-excited nerve fibers, so it slows down the abnormal nerve impulses in the brain. It is widely recommended to treat partial seizures (generally only one size of the brain), bipolar disorder (alternating periods of excitation and depression), generalized tonic-clonic seizure (considered for the entire brain), and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (a disorder that can delay development in children). The medicine is also available under various other brand names.

 How does Lametec works?

 Lamotrigine, an anticonvulsant and anti-epileptic, acts as a mood stabilizer. It’s taken for the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorder. The episodes of abnormal electrical activity in the brain trigger epileptic seizures, causing repetitive firing and transmission of excitatory nerve signals. The transmission of electrical signals is controlled by brain chemicals (neurotransmitters). It’s important for the brain to maintain a balance between excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate and neurotransmitters that have a calming effect on nerve cells, like Gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA).

 The flow of positive sodium ions in the nerve cell through special sodium channels can regulate the conduct of electrical impulses in the brain. Lamotrigine, the active component of Lametec works to block voltage-gated sodium channels in order to stabilize the nerve cell membrane. This active ingredient also inhibits the sustained repetitive firing of neurons as well as the flow of glutamate that ultimately helps to curb the development of epileptic seizures.
