Trade name of lamotrigine?

What trade names does lamotrigine have?

Lamotrigine is sold under multiple brand (trade) names, depending on the country and the specific manufacturer.

Common trade names include:

- Lamictal (widely used in many markets)
- Lamictal XR (extended-release version, where available)

What’s the difference between immediate-release and extended-release?

Some trade names distinguish formulations. For example, “XR” typically indicates an extended-release version, which changes how the drug is released and dosed versus the immediate-release version.

Can the trade name differ by country or manufacturer?

Yes. The active ingredient is still lamotrigine, but brand names vary by country, and some markets may list additional locally marketed brands.

Want the exact trade name for your location?

If you tell me your country (or where the prescription was issued) and whether it’s immediate-release or extended-release, I can narrow it to the most likely trade names for that market.
