Uses of Lamez Tablet SR

Benefits of Lamez Tablet SR

In Epilepsy/Seizures

Lamez OD 150 Tablet SR is used alone or with other medicines to prevent and control seizures (fits). It works by decreasing the nerve impulses that cause seizures. It can help reduce symptoms such as confusion, uncontrollable jerking movements, loss of awareness, and fear or anxiety. By controlling the frequency of seizures, it will help you go about your daily activities with more confidence. It may also allow you to do some activities that you would otherwise be forbidden or scared to do (such as swimming and driving). This medicine may take several weeks or months to work effectively as the dose is adjusted. Carefully follow all instructions and never take more tablets than your doctor tells you to. It needs to be taken regularly as prescribed to be most effective.

In Bipolar disorder

Lamez OD 150 Tablet SR works to restore the normal balance of nerve activity in your brain. It is sometimes called a mood stabilizer and can help prevent extreme changes in mood and help you feel less agitated. You may experience fewer episodes of depression and low mood. It can take several weeks for this medicine to work and you may still feel low during this time. It is likely that you will take this medicine for at least six months but possibly much longer. It needs to be taken regularly to work effectively. Do not stop taking it unless your doctor advises you to. You should continue to eat well and keep fit to reduce symptoms of bipolar disorder.
