Orlistat (the active ingredient in Xenical) may reduce the absorption of lamotrigine (the active ingredient in Lamotrix) from the gastrointestinal tract and reduce its effect. The dose may need to be adjusted or monitored more frequently, or if weight reduction is necessary, a medicine with a different mechanism of action may be a better choice. Therefore, the possibility of safely combining both drugs should be established with your doctor. If medications have been prescribed by different doctors, an additional consultation is necessary. The drug-drug interaction is due to the fact that the mechanism of action of orlistat is reduced fat absorption, which may also limit the absorption of lipophilic drugs such as lamotrigine.
