Fda And Generic Lamictal

Generic Lamictal made by Aurobindo pharm

Just wondering if anyone has taken the Lamictal generic (lamotrigine) made by Aurobindo pharmaceuticals. Just picked up my prescription... the pills look like shields and I've never heard of Aurobindo... Any issues? Or does anyone take any meds in general made by Aurobindo? ## Aurobindo is approved by the FDA as a U.S. prescription medication manufacturer. I've never taken Lamictal, but have taken a couple of their other medications, without a problem. Lamictal is an anticonvulsant that may also be used to help with certain types of mood disorders. Side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, dry mouth and weight gain.

You don't have to be a member. ## No, you cannot add your own refills, that would be illegal and prescriptions are tracked and monitored by government agencies. Have you tried calling your doctor? They may be able to phone in a refill, until you can go in for an appointment. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including dry mouth, nause...
