Rare Combination of Adverse Effects Associated With Lamotrigine Treatment

The document from 2018 discussed a case of a 23-year-old male who experienced rare adverse effects from Lamotrigine (LTG) treatment, an antiepileptic drug used for epilepsy. The patient developed leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and a skin rash. These serious side effects, although rare, are of clinical importance and often lead to drug withdrawal. The document emphasized that clinicians should be aware of these potential serious side effects, especially at the beginning of the treatment, in addition to other less significant complaints such as nausea, dizziness, and malaise.
