JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR belongs to a group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits. Additionally, JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR 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 an unconscious state. Bipolar disorder is a severe brain disorder in which a person experiences extreme mood swings (variance in thinking) and frequent mood and behavioural changes.

JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR contains 'Lamotrigine' that reduces the electrical impulses and subsequent firing of the nerve impulses that cause fits. Thus, JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR decreases the excessive and abnormal nerve activity in the brain, thereby controlling seizures.

JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR belongs to a group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorders. JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR contains Lamotrigine, which reduces the electrical impulses and subsequent firing of the nerve impulses that cause fits. JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR 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. JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR is widely used in pediatric epilepsy because of its acceptable safety profile. JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR is not associated with any psychological or physical dependence, and there is no potential for abuse.

• A ketogenic diet (low in carbohydrates and high in fats) is recommended for children with epilepsy. This diet helps the body utilize fat instead of glucose for energy generation.
• The Atkins diet (high fat and controlled carbohydrates) is recommended for adolescents and adults.
• Rest well, and get plenty of sleep.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
• Exercise, meditation, and yoga can help lower stress, decrease pain sensitivity, and improve coping skills.
• Prepare your living area; small changes may reduce the risk of physical injury during a seizure.
• Install an alarm or emergency device to get assistance during a seizure attack.

• Contact your doctor if your child gets her first period whilst on treatment with JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR.
• If you are of childbearing age, use effective contraception without interruptions during your entire treatment with JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR.

• After taking JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR, if you have thoughts of harming or killing yourself (suicidal behaviour), stop taking JI Lmt OD 100mg Tablet SR and immediately contact your doctor.

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.
