EPITIC 50MG TABLET belongs to a group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits. Additionally, EPITIC 50MG TABLET also treats bipolar disorder. Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. In epilepsy, the brain's electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures, sometimes leading to the unconscious state. Bipolar disorder is a severe brain disorder in which a person experiences extreme mood swings (variance in thinking) and frequent mood and behavioral changes.
EPITIC 50MG TABLET contains 'Lamotrigine' that reduces the electrical impulses and subsequent firing of the nerve impulses that cause fits. Thus, EPITIC 50MG TABLET decreases the excessive and abnormal nerve activity in the brain, thereby controlling seizures.
You are advised to take EPITIC 50MG TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as skin rash, headache, nausea, vomiting, dryness in the mouth, insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), sleepiness, dizziness, back pain, fatigue, abdominal pain, blurred vision, double vision, impaired coordination, nasal congestion (stuffy nose), infection. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
To treat your condition effectually, continue taking EPITIC 50MG TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Please do not stop taking EPITIC 50MG TABLET without consulting your doctor to avoid worsening of seizures. Do not take EPITIC 50MG TABLET if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy unless prescribed by the doctor as it could lead to serious congenital disabilities. If you are of child-bearing age, use effective contraception while taking EPITIC 50MG TABLET. Consult your doctor before taking EPITIC 50MG TABLET if you are breastfeeding. Contact your doctor if your child gets her first-period whilst on treatment with EPITIC 50MG TABLET. Do not drive or operate machinery as EPITIC 50MG TABLET causes drowsiness and dizziness. Avoid consuming alcohol along with EPITIC 50MG TABLET as it could lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience suicidal tendencies.

EPITIC 50MG TABLET contains Lamotrigine, which reduces the electrical impulses and subsequent firing of the nerve impulses that cause fits. EPITIC 50MG TABLET decreases the excessive and abnormal nerve activity in the brain, thereby helping in controlling seizures. It also suppresses the release of excitatory amino acid glutamate (a chemical messenger that acts as a nerve-exciting agent) in the brain, thereby preventing episodes of fits by stabilizing nerve cell's electrical activity in the brain. EPITIC 50MG TABLET widely used in pediatric epilepsy because of its acceptable safety profile. EPITIC 50MG TABLET is not associated with any psychological or physical dependence, and there is no potential for abuse.
If you are known to be allergic to EPITIC 50MG TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Please consult your doctor before taking EPITIC 50MG TABLET if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Using this medicine during pregnancy may cause harm to the unborn baby also affect cognitive ability (reasoning, intelligence, problem-solving) later in your child's life. EPITIC 50MG TABLET should be used with caution in children. If you have depression, liver, kidney, or pancreas problems, urea cycle disorders, inflammation of the tissue that covers the brain and spinal cord, porphyria (a disorder in the formation of red blood pigment) or thrombocytopenia (low levels of platelets), inform your doctor before taking EPITIC 50MG TABLET. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience suicidal tendencies or mood swings. Do not stop using EPITIC 50MG TABLET without your doctor's advice. Stopping suddenly may cause a serious, life-threatening type of seizure. EPITIC 50MG TABLET may cause a severe or life-threatening skin rash, especially in children and in people who take a very high starting dose or those who also take valproic acid. If you have a skin rash, hives, blistering, peeling, or sores in your mouth or around your eyes, please inform your doctor immediately. EPITIC 50MG TABLET causes drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid consuming alcohol along with EPITIC 50MG TABLET as it could lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness.
Drug-Drug Interactions: EPITIC 50MG TABLET may have interaction with pain killers (aspirin), anti-epileptics (oxcarbazepine, felbamate, gabapentin, levetiracetam, pregabalin, topiramate, zonisamide, valproate, carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone, phenobarbitone), blood thinner (warfarin), anti-HIV (zidovudine, lopinavir, ritonavir), anti-depressant (moclobemide, selegiline, linezolid, amitriptyline, sertraline, uetiapine, diazepam, olanzapine), anti-psychotic (quetiapine, olanzapine, risperidone), antibiotics (panipenem, imipenem, meropenem, rifampicin, erythromycin ), antimalarial (mefloquine, chloroquine) medicine used to treat cancer(temozolomide), calcium channel blocker (nimodipine), anaesthetic (propofol), hormone (oestrogen, levonorgestrel), antacid (cimetidine), bile-acid sequestrant (cholestyramine).
Drug-Food Interactions: Avoid alcohol consumption while taking EPITIC 50MG TABLET as it might cause increased dizziness and sleepiness.
Drug-Disease Interactions: EPITIC 50MG TABLET may have interactions with disease conditions such as depression, liver disease, Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) (immune disorder), Brugada syndrome (heart problem), suicidal tendency, HIV disease, thrombocytopenia (low levels of platelets).
Epilepsy: It is a brain-related problem in which there is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. This sudden, uncontrolled disturbance in nerve cell's electrical activity in the brain results in recurrent seizures (fits), sometimes leading to the unconscious state. In patients with seizures, the typical brain electrical pattern is disrupted by sudden bursts of electrical impulses that affect an individual's consciousness, movements, or sensations. Seizures are of two types: generalized and partial seizures. Generalized seizures affect the entire brain, whereas partial seizures affect only a part of the brain. Seizures can cause uncontrollable muscle twitches and spasms. Stronger seizures may cause people to become confused or unconscious. Possible causes include high fever, trauma, genetic disorder, brain injury, or stroke.
Bipolar disorder: Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression or bipolar disease, is a mental health disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from manic highs to depressive lows.
