Alternatives to Lamotrigine
Lamotrigine is one of the newer antiepileptic drugs and can be used alone, i.e. in monotherapy, or together with other drugs in the treatment of epilepsy. Other new anticonvulsants include gabapentin, tiagabine, vigabatrin and others that also act on the inhibitory neurotransmitter system. The classic antiepileptic drugs for monotherapy include phenytoin, phenobarbital and primidone.
Carbamazepine and valproate in particular are on the shortlist for long-term therapy. Ethosuximide is also used for the so-called absences, which occur mainly in childhood. The choice of drug depends on the type of seizure, age and tolerance in the patient.
