Lamotrigine
For an informed discussion with your doctor or pharmacist. This information collection is not a clinically validated interaction checker. Missing data do not establish safety. Do not change or stop prescribed medicines on the basis of this information. The findings apply to the specific conditions studied; laboratory and animal studies cannot be directly extrapolated to humans.
Active substance: Lamotrigine
Examples of brand names: Lamictal [DE]
ATC code: N03AX09
Main use (for orientation): Epilepsy; bipolar disorder
Documented research summary
No significant association between CBD and concentrations in CL20. A mouse combination study showing no change in lamotrigine's anticonvulsant effect does not establish a null effect in humans.
Uncertainties and limitations
Do not present an in vitro UGT hypothesis as a clinically established increase in concentrations.
Separately recorded findings
1 separately recorded finding. Each statement applies to its documented study context.
CBD – clinical signals
Finding ID: B0065
Type of result: No / minor effect under the conditions studied
Observation: No concentration signal; p=0.4587.
Mechanism: PK observation
Study type: Observational study: no signal detected
Context studied: n=63.
Clinical interpretation: Not ruled out
Limitations and uncertainties: Context / limitations of CL20; a lack of statistical significance does not establish equivalence.
