How it works?
Natrilam Tablet is an anticonvulsant medicine which helps to control seizures by reducing sudden electrical activities in the brain which causes epileptic seizures and related conditions .
The exact mechanism behind this activity of lamotrinine is not known yet but it is believed to work by inhibiting neuronal voltage gated sodium channels thereby increasing frequency of action potentials resulting ultimately regulating excessive neuronal firing caused during a seizure episode .
It may also act on glutamate receptors leading to modulation of excitatory signals passed between neurons helping to reduce hyperexcitability associated with epilepsy by creating a balance between dopaminergic and glutaminergic system involved in regulation of electrical impulse flow among neurons required for proper learning memory & cognitive functions .
