How Lamolet 50 DT Tablet Works

Lamolet 50 DT Tablet contains Lamotrigine 50mg, an active ingredient that works by stabilizing abnormal electrical activity in the brain. In epilepsy, excessive or irregular electrical signals cause seizures, and lamotrigine helps regulate these signals, reducing the frequency and severity of seizures. For bipolar disorder, lamotrigine modulates neurotransmitters, particularly glutamate, which plays a key role in mood regulation. Balancing these chemical signals prevents sudden mood swings and helps maintain emotional stability. Its dispersible tablet (DT) form ensures quick absorption, making it easier for the body to utilize the medication effectively, contributing to consistent seizure control and improved quality of life.
