In this presentation, Dr. Scott Beach delves into lamotrigine side effects and special considerations, including more and less common side effects and skin rashes, especially how to distinguish a benign rash from a concerning one. He points out the characteristics of a concerning rash, dosage recommendations depending on rash characteristics, and the prevalence of rash and HLA markers. Dr. Beach also discusses the protocol after missing lamotrigine doses, its use in pregnancy and breastfeeding, the effect of oral contraceptives on lamotrigine levels, and finally, the overdose effects.
