SAFETY INFORMATION

►The most important information about LAMICTAL

LAMICTAL may cause a serious skin rash that may cause you to be hospitalized or to stop LAMICTAL; it may rarely cause death. There is no way to tell if a mild rash will develop into a more serious reaction. These serious skin reactions are more likely to happen when you begin taking LAMICTAL, within the first 2-8 weeks of treatment. But it can happen in people who have taken LAMICTAL for any period of time. Children between 2 to 16 years of age have a higher chance of getting this serious skin reaction while taking LAMICTAL.

The risk of getting a rash is higher if you:

• take LAMICTAL while taking valproate (DEPAKENE (valproic acid) or DEPAKOTE (divalproex sodium))
• take a higher starting dose of LAMICTAL than your healthcare provider prescribed
• increase your dose of LAMICTAL faster than prescribed.

LAMICTAL can also cause other types of allergic reactions or serious problems which may affect organs and other parts of your body like the liver or blood cells. You may or may not have a rash with these types of reactions.

Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the following:

• a skin rash
• hives
• fever
• swollen lymph glands
• painful sores in the mouth or around your eyes
• swelling of your lips or tongue
• yellowing of your skin or eyes
• unusual bruising or bleeding
• severe fatigue or weakness
• severe muscle pain
• frequent infections

Like other antiepileptic drugs, LAMICTAL may cause suicidal thoughts or actions in a very small number of people, about 1 in 500. Call a healthcare provider right away if you have any of these symptoms, especially if they are new, worse, or worry you:

• thoughts about suicide or dying
• attempt to commit suicide
• new or worse depression
• new or worse anxiety
• feeling agitated or restless
• panic attacks
• trouble sleeping (insomnia)
• new or worse irritability
• acting aggressive, being angry, or violent
• acting on dangerous impulses
• an extreme increase in activity and talking (mania)
• other unusual changes in behavior or mood

►Before taking LAMICTAL, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

• have had a rash or allergic reaction to another antiseizure medicine.
• have or have had depression, mood problems or suicidal thoughts or behavior.
• are taking oral contraceptives (birth control pills) or other female hormonal medicines. Do not start or stop taking birth control pills or other female hormonal medicine until you have talked with your healthcare provider. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any changes in your menstrual pattern such as breakthrough bleeding. Stopping or starting these medicines may cause side effects (such as dizziness, lack of coordination, or double vision) or lessen how well LAMICTAL works.
• are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if LAMICTAL will harm your unborn baby.
• are breastfeeding. LAMICTAL can pass into your breast milk. You and your healthcare provider should decide if you should take LAMICTAL or breastfeed. Breastfeeding while taking LAMICTAL is not recommended.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take or if you are planning to take a new medicine, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Using LAMICTAL with certain other medicines can affect each other, causing side effects.

►Do not stop LAMICTAL without first talking to a healthcare provider.

• Stopping LAMICTAL suddenly can cause serious problems.
• Suicidal thoughts or actions can be caused by things other than medicines. If you have suicidal thoughts or actions, your healthcare provider may check for other causes.

►Do not take LAMICTAL if:

• you have had an allergic reaction to lamotrigine or to any of the inactive ingredients.

►Do not drive a car or operate complex, hazardous machinery until you know how
LAMICTAL affects you.
