Mogine

MOGINE tablets contain the active ingredient lamotrigine. It is used to treat epilepsy in children and adults.

MOGINE is used in partial (seizures that affect only one part of the brain) or generalised seizures (seizures that affect the whole brain) including Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.

Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) is a severe form of epilepsy and is characterised by several seizure types.

MOGINE tablets are initially used in addition to other medicines for the treatment of epilepsy.

The brain consists of millions of nerve cells, or neurons. These neurons receive electrical signals from other neurons and pass them on to the next neurons.

The functions of a normal brain depend on the electrical signals being passed from one neuron to the next. The brain constantly generates electrical rhythms in an orderly manner.

Epilepsy is caused by a disruption in the electrical activity of the brain.

The abnormal electrical impulses occur due to altered levels of some of the chemicals in the brain.

MOGINE tablets work by altering the levels of some of the chemicals causing the seizures.

MOGINE tablets may also be used to treat Bipolar Depression in Adults.

Your doctor may have prescribed MOGINE tablets for another reason. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why MOGINE has been prescribed for you.

This medicine is available only with a doctor's prescription.

MOGINE tablets are not known to be addictive.

Severe, potentially life-threatening rashes have been reported in association with the use of lamotrigine the active ingredient in Mogine tablets, particularly in children. Accordingly, Mogine tablets should be discontinued at the first sign of rash unless the rash is clearly not medicine related.
