In reply to Lamictal-how long has it been in use?, posted by Bekka H. on April 26, 2002, at 23:09:24
Lamotrigine, at least in U.K.
In 1991, Lamotrigine was licensed in the U.K. for use as adjunctive therapy in refractory partial epilepsy after short-term clinical trials established its effectiveness. Systematic postmarketing surveillance of Anti-Epileptic Drugs is generally lacking. However, large-scale postmarketing surveillance was conducted to assess the safety of LTG by the Drug Safety Research Unit in Southampton.
