Children 2 years of age and older
Lamictal can be added to other epilepsy drugs prescribed for children below
16 who have partial seizures known as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Dosage plan
for children under 12 is mostly based on the weight of child. Children 12
and older receive the adult dose. Doses are increased gradually from a low
starting level to limit the risk of severe rash. It is advisable not to
take Lamictal as a replacement drug if you are under 16 of age. |
