/BOXED WARNING/ WARNING: SERIOUS SKIN RASHES. Lamictal can cause serious rashes requiring hospitalization and discontinuation of treatment. The incidence of these rashes, which have included Stevens-Johnson syndrome, is approximately 0.3% to 0.8% in pediatric patients (aged 2 to 17 years) and 0.08% to 0.3% in adults receiving Lamictal. One rash-related death was reported in a prospectively followed cohort of 1,983 pediatric patients (aged 2 to 16 years) with epilepsy taking Lamictal as adjunctive therapy. In worldwide postmarketing experience, rare cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis and/or rash-related death have been reported in adult and pediatric patients, but their numbers are too few to permit a precise estimate of the rate. Other than age, there are as yet no factors identified that are known to predict the risk of occurrence or the severity of rash caused by Lamictal. There are suggestions, yet to be proven, that the risk of rash may also be increased by (1) coadministration of Lamictal with valproate (includes valproic acid and divalproex sodium), (2) exceeding the recommended initial dose of Lamictal, or (3) exceeding the recommended dose escalation for Lamictal. However, cases have occurred in the absence of these factors. Nearly all cases of life-threatening rashes caused by Lamictal have occurred within 2 to 8 weeks of treatment initiation. However, isolated cases have occurred after prolonged treatment (e.g., 6 months). Accordingly, duration of therapy cannot be relied upon as means to predict the potential risk heralded by the first appearance of a rash. Although benign rashes are also caused by Lamictal, it is not possible to predict reliably which rashes will prove to be serious or life threatening. Accordingly, Lamictal should ordinarily be discontinued at the first sign of rash, unless the rash is clearly not drug related. Discontinuation of treatment may not prevent a rash from becoming life threatening or permanently disabling or disfiguring

Dizziness, headache, and ataxia were the most frequent adverse nervous system effects, occurring in 38, 29, and 22% of adults, respectively, in controlled trials of lamotrigine adjunctive therapy. The frequency of dizziness and ataxia, and the rate of discontinuance of lamotrigine because of these adverse effects, were dose related in clinical trials; in a dose-response study, dizziness occurred in 54, 31, or 27% of patients receiving lamotrigine 500 mg/day, lamotrigine 300 mg/day, or placebo, respectively, while ataxia occurred in 28, 10, or 10% of those receiving these respective regimens.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2015; Drug Information 2015. Bethesda, MD. 2015, p. 2235
Somnolence or insomnia occurred in 14 or 6%, respectively, of adults receiving lamotrigine as adjunctive therapy in controlled clinical trials. Incoordination or tremor was reported in 6 or 4%, respectively, of lamotrigine-treated adults ... Depression occurred in 4%, anxiety in 4%, irritability in 3%, speech disorder in 3%, and concentration disturbance in 2% of adults receiving lamotrigine as adjunctive therapy in controlled clinical trials. Seizure or seizure exacerbation has been reported in 3 or 2% of adults, respectively, receiving lamotrigine as adjunctive therapy in controlled trials; an increase in seizure frequency also has been reported with lamotrigine therapy. Treatment-emergent seizures diagnosed unequivocally as status epilepticus were reported in 7 of 2343 adults receiving adjunctive therapy with lamotrigine in clinical trials; however, the manufacturer states that valid estimates of the incidence of treatment-emergent status epilepticus are difficult to obtain because of variations in the definitions used by different investigators to identify such cases.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2015; Drug Information 2015. Bethesda, MD. 2015, p. 2235
Coordination abnormality, dizziness, anxiety, and insomnia occurred in 7, 7, 5, and 5% respectively, of adults receiving lamotrigine as monotherapy in a controlled trial; amnesia, ataxia, asthenia, depression, hypesthesia, libido increase, decreased or increased reflexes, nystagmus, and irritability each occurred in 2% of such patients. Paresthesia or asthenia occurred in more than 1% of adults receiving lamotrigine as adjunctive therapy in controlled clinical trials but with equal or greater frequency in those receiving placebo.

Lamotrigine is indicated as adjunctive therapy for the following seizure types in patients 2 years of age: partial seizures, primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and generalized seizures due to Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. It is also indicated for the process of conversion to drug monotherapy for those at least 16 years of age or older with partial seizures and currently are receiving treatment with carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone, or valproate as the single antiepileptic drug (AED). In addition to the above, lamotrigine is also indicated for the maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder, delaying the time to mood episodes (which may include mania, hypomania, depression, mixed episodes) in adults at least 18 years or older, who have been treated for acute mood symptoms with standard therapy. Limitations of use It is important to note that lamotirigine should not be used in the treatment of acute mood episodes, as efficacy has not been established in this context.
FDA Label
Lamotrigine likely prevents seizures and prevents mood symptoms via stabilizing presynaptic neuronal membranes and preventing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate, which contribute to seizure activity. A note on cardiovascular effects The metabolite of lamotrigine, 2-N-methyl metabolite (formed by glucuronidation), is reported to cause dose-dependent prolongations of the PR interval, widening of the QRS complex, and at higher doses, complete AV block. Although this harmful metabolite is only found in trace amounts in humans, plasma concentrations may increase in conditions that cause decreased drug glucuronidation, such as liver disease.
Antipsychotic Agents
Agents that control agitated psychotic behavior, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect. They are used in SCHIZOPHRENIA; senile dementia; transient psychosis following surgery; or MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; etc. These drugs are often referred to as neuroleptics alluding to the tendency to produce neurological side effects, but not all antipsychotics are likely to produce such effects. Many of these drugs may also be effective against nausea, emesis, and pruritus. (See all compounds classified as Antipsychotic Agents.)
Anticonvulsants
Drugs used to prevent SEIZURES or reduce their severity. (See all compounds classified as Anticonvulsants.)
Calcium Channel Blockers
A class of drugs that act by selective inhibition of calcium influx through cellular membranes. (See all compounds classified as Calcium Channel Blockers.)
Sodium Channel Blockers
A class of drugs that act by inhibition of sodium influx through cell membranes. Blockade of sodium channels slows the rate and amplitude of initial rapid depolarization, reduces cell excitability, and reduces conduction velocity. (See all compounds classified as Sodium Channel Blockers.)

Absorption
Lamotrigine is rapidly and entirely absorbed with minimal first-pass metabolism effects, with a bioavailability estimated at 98%. Cmax is reached in the range of 1.4 to 4.8 hours post-dose, but this depends on the dose administered, concomitant medications, and epileptic status. The rate and extent of lamictal absorption is considered equivalent between the compressed tablet form taken with water to that of the chewable dispersible tablets, taken with or without water.
Route of Elimination
Lamotrigine is excreted in both the urine and feces. Following oral administration of 240 mg radiolabelled lamotrigine, about 94% of total drug and its metabolites administered is recovered in the urine and 2% is recovered in the feces. One pharmacokinetic study recovered 43 to 87% of a lamotrigine dose in the urine mainly as glucuronidated metabolites. 2-N-glucuronide is mainly excreted in the urine.
Volume of Distribution
The mean apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) of lamotrigine following oral administration ranges from 0.9 to 1.3 L/kg and is independent of dose administered. Lamotrigine accumulated in the kidney of the male rat, and likely behaves in a similar fashion in humans. Lamotrigine also binds to tissues containing melanin, such as the eyes and pigmented skin.
Clearance
The mean apparent plasma clearance (Cl/F) ranges from 0.18 to 1.21 mL/min/kg. The values vary depending on dosing regimen, concomitant antiepileptic medications, and disease state of the individual. In one study, healthy volunteers on lamictal monotherapy showed a clearance of about 0.44 mL/min/kg after a single dose.
/MILK/ Lamotrigine is distributed into milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions to lamotrigine in nursing infants, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the woman.

/MILK/ To investigate the pharmacokinetics of lamotrigine (LTG) during delivery, during the neonatal period, and lactation. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to determine plasma and milk levels of LTG in nine pregnant women with epilepsy treated with LTG, and plasma levels in their 10 infants. Samples were obtained at delivery, the first 3 days postpartum, and at breast-feeding 2-3 weeks after delivery. At delivery, maternal plasma LTG concentrations were similar to those from the umbilical cord, indicating extensive placental transfer of LTG. There was a slow decline in the LTG plasma concentration in the newborn. At 72 hr postpartum, median LTG plasma levels in the infants were 75% of the cord plasma levels (range, 50-100%). The median milk/maternal plasma concentration ratio was 0.61 (range, 0.47-0.77) 2-3 weeks after delivery, and the nursed infants maintained LTG plasma concentrations of approximately 30% (median, range 23-50%) of the mother's plasma levels. Maternal plasma LTG concentrations increased significantly during the first 2 weeks after parturition, the median increase in plasma concentration/dose ratio being 170%.

Lamotrigine binds to melanin-containing ocular tissue in pigmented rats and cynomolgus monkeys, but evidence of this manifestation has not been reported in humans ... prolonged administration of the drug could potentially result in its accumulation and possible toxic effects in melanin-rich tissues, including those of the eye, and that clinicians should be aware of possible adverse ophthalmologic effects occurring as a result of binding of the drug to melanin.

To determine the relative bioavailability of lamotrigine (LTG) chewable dispersible tablets after rectal administration. Two-period, crossover study with a 2-week washout between dosing periods. Twelve healthy adult volunteers. One hundred milligrams of a LTG chewable dispersible tablet was administered by oral and rectal routes. Plasma samples were collected before and up to 120 hours after drug administration. The samples were analyzed for LTG by high-performance liquid chromatography, and the relative bioavailability was determined. Drug concentrations were lower after rectal than after oral administration. The relative bioavailability (F = AUC(rectal)/AUC(oral)) was 0.52 +/- 0.23 (SD). Drug prepared from LTG chewable dispersible tablets is absorbed rectally, although not to the same extent as when given orally. Rectal administration of suspension of these tablets can be an acceptable route of administration.

Lamotrigine is mainly glucuronidated, forming 2-N-glucuronide conjugate, a pharmacologically inactive metabolite. The total radioactivity detected after a 240mg radiolabeled dose of lamotrigine during clinical trials were as follows: lamotrigine as unchanged drug(10%), a 2-N-glucuronide (76%), a 5-N-glucuronide (10%), a 2-N-methyl metabolite (0.14%), as well as various other minor metabolites (4%).
The metabolites of [(14)C]lamotrigine (78 micromol/kg, iv) in adult male Wistar rats were characterized with particular reference to thioether derivatives of an epoxide intermediate. Biliary recovery of radioactivity from anesthetized and cannulated animals was 7.3 +/- 3.0% (mean +/- SD, n = 4) of the dose over 4 hr; 5.5 +/- 0.5% was recovered in bladder urine after 4 hr. Bile contained [(14)C]lamotrigine (1.4 +/- 0.3%), a glutathione adduct of [(14)C]dihydrohydroxylamotrigine (1.8 +/- 0.3%), i.e., an adduct of an arene oxide, and the glutathione (1.5 +/- 0.7%), cysteinylglycine (1.9 +/- 0.5%), and N-acetylcysteine (0.4 +/- 0.2%) adducts of [(14)C]lamotrigine. Formation of the thioether metabolites was partially blocked by the cytochrome P450 inhibitor, ketoconazole. Urine contained [(14)C]lamotrigine (4.5 +/- 0.5%) and [(14)C]lamotrigine N-oxide (0.9 +/- 0.2%). The radiolabeled material in skin (15.6 +/- 1.4%) was almost entirely [(14)C]lamotrigine. ...

The average elimination half-life of lamotrigine ranges from approximately 14-59 hours. The value is dependent on the dose administered, concomitant drug therapy, as well as disease status. One pharmacokinetic study revealed a half-life of 22.8 to 37.4 hours in healthy volunteers. It also reported that enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs such as pheobarbital, phenytoin, or carbamazepine decrease the half-life of lamotrigine. On the other hand, valproic acid increases the half-life of lamotrigine (in the range of 48-59 hours).
/Investigators/ describe the findings in a patient following the deliberate ingestion of a large amount of lamotrigine (stated 4.5 g, absorbed estimated 2.9 g) ... Peak measured concentration of lamotrigine was 35.8 mg/L and half-life 19.5 hours, suggesting linear kinetics in overdose.
PMID:11185974 O'Donnell J et al; J Toxicol Clin Toxicol 38 (6): 659-60 (2000)
The plasma half-life of a single dose is 24 to 35 hr. Administration of phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or primidone reduces the half-life of lamotrigine to approximately 15 hr and reduces plasma concentrations of lamotrigine.

The exact mechanism of action of lamotrigine is not fully elucidated, as it may exert cellular activities that contribute to its efficacy in a range of conditions. Although chemically unrelated, lamotrigine actions resemble those of phenytoin and carbamazepine, inhibiting voltage-sensitive sodium channels, stabilizing neuronal membranes, thereby modulating the release of presynaptic excitatory neurotransmitters. Lamotrigine likely acts by inhibiting sodium currents by selective binding to the inactive sodium channel, suppressing the release of the excitatory amino acid, glutamate. The mechanism of action of lamotrigine in reducing anticonvulsant activity is likely the same in managing bipolar disorder. Studies on lamotrigine have identified its binding to sodium channels in a fashion similar to local anesthetics, which could explain the demonstrated clinical benefit of lamotrigine in some neuropathic pain states. Lamotrigine displays binding properties to several different receptors. In laboratory binding assays, it demonstrates weak inhibitory effect on the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor. Lamotrigine also weakly binds to Adenosine A1/A2 receptors, 1/2/ adrenergic receptors, dopamine D1/D2 receptors, GABA A/B receptors, histamine H1 receptors, -opioid receptor (KOR), mACh receptors and serotonin 5-HT2 receptors with an IC50>100 M. Weak inhibitory effects were observed at sigma opioid receptors. An in vivo study revealed evidence that lamotrigine inhibits Cav2.3 (R-type) calcium currents, which may also contribute to its anticonvulsant effects.
Spectrophotometry with the Ca(++)-sensitive dye fura-2 was used to study the effect of lamotrigine (LAG) on the depolarization-evoked Ca++ influx in the acutely isolated basolateral amygdala neurons. Depolarization of the neurons with high K+ resulted in the elevation of intracellular Ca++ concentration [Ca++]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The K(+)-induced Ca++ influx was completely blocked in the Ca(++)-free solution or by Cd++, indicating that depolarization-induced increases in [Ca++]i were triggered largely, if not completely, by Ca++ entry from extracellular space and Ca++ entry occurred through voltage-dependent Ca++ channels. Application of LAG reduced the depolarization-evoked Ca++ influx in a concentration-dependent manner. The effect of LAG was markedly reduced in the presence of N-type Ca++ channel blocker omega-conotoxin-GVIA (omega-CgTX). These results suggest that the action of LAG is mediated, at least in part, by the modulation of N-type Ca++ channels.

Lamotrigine (LAG) is an antiepileptic drug which is believed to suppress seizures by inhibiting the release of excitatory neurotransmitters. The present study was aimed at investigating the effect of LAG on the 4-aminopyridine (4AP)-evoked glutamate release in cerebrocortical nerve terminals (synaptosomes). LAG inhibited the release of glutamate evoked by 4AP in a concentration-dependent manner. This inhibitory effect was associated with a reduction in the depolarization-evoked increase in the cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]C). In addition, LAG did not alter the resting synaptosomal membrane potential or 4AP-evoked depolarization. Furthermore, ionomycin-evoked glutamate release was not affected by LAG. Based on these results, we suggest that presynaptic calcium influx blockade and inhibition of glutamate release may underlie the mechanism of action of LAG. These action may also contribute to their neuroprotective properties in excitotoxic injury.
