Can You Drink On Lamotrigine

2 Topics Found

Alcohol with epitec: I take 25mg Epitec twice daily. Can I consume a glass of wine on special occasions although I am taking Epitec? ## Drinking alcohol while taking Epitec is not recommended. This medication is reported to contain the active ingredient Lamotrigine, which acts as a central nervous system depressant (as does alcohol). If you really did want a glass of wine then it is highly recommended that you check with your prescribing physician first since they are familiar with your full medical history. While it may be okay to drink a single glass of wine (moderation), it is best not to take a chance without knowing if you are specifically at risk for an interaction.

I want to now ive I use epitec do I have to eat something in the morning before I drink my epitec and do I have to drink it with water or can I drink it with cooldrink as well? ## Epitec (lamotrigine) comes as a tablet, an extended-release (long acting) tablet, an orally disintegrating tablet (dissolves in the mouth and can be swallowed without water), and a chewable dispersible (can be chewed or dissolved in liquid) tablet to take by mouth with or without food. I'm not sure which one of those you may have, but more specific details on 'how to take this medication' can be viewed in the link below: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a695007.html#how I hope this info helps!
