Medicine Description larogen 25mg
Larogen 25mg Tablets is a medication that primarily functions by inhibiting voltage-gated sodium channels in the central nervous system. This action stabilizes neuronal membranes and decreases the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, thereby reducing the excessive electrical activity associated with seizure episodes. Additionally, lamotrigine modulates the release of glutamate, a key excitatory neurotransmitter, further contributing to its anticonvulsant properties. Through these mechanisms, Larogen effectively helps in controlling seizures and managing mood stabilization in bipolar disorder.
