Can I breastfeed? Lamotrix in the morning 50, in the evening 75. In pregnancy, I take them in these doses. What does the absorption of the drug look like? I could feed half and half with artificial milk. At times of the highest concentration of the drug in the blood, would I give formula milk?

Lamotrigine (the active ingredient in Lamotrix) is excreted in milk at very variable concentrations (9 to 20%). In some breastfed infants, it was observed that the concentration of the drug in the serum reached the values at which the pharmacological effect is achieved. Therefore, before you decide to breastfeed or mixed breastfeeding, you should consult a specialist doctor who will assess the ratio of the benefits of breastfeeding to the risk of side effects in the baby. If you decide to breastfeed, you should carefully monitor your baby for side effects such as excessive sedation, rash and too little weight gain. The maximum plasma concentration of lamotrigine occurs approximately 2.5 hours after taking the drug. Eating a meal may delay this slightly.
