ictalam

Ictalam 25mg Tablet is an antiepileptic drug effective in treating different types of seizures such as partial seizures and primary generalized tonicclonic seizures. Additionally, it's used for maintaining bipolar I disorder and managing Lennox Gastaut syndrome.

It belongs to a class called triazines that works by attaching to specific channels in the brain and stopping them from getting too active. This helps to steady the nerve cells activity and reduces the release of certain chemicals that pass messages between these cells.

It is used to extend the time between mood swings in bipolar I disorder, reducing episodes of depression, mania, and abnormal moods. However, it's not effective during actual episodes of depression or mania; other medications are necessary for managing these acute episodes.

Patients prescribed it should adhere to their healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

It is crucial to report any persistent symptoms or adverse effects promptly.
