BREASTFEEDING LAMOTRIX Lamotrix in the morning 50, in the evening 75. Before, during pregnancy and after I take in fixed doses. Does it make sense for me to feed the baby right before taking the medicine? I aim to go down to two feedings a day. In the morning before the tablet and the night before the tablet . My question is: Will the concentration of the drug in my milk actually be the lowest then (just before taking the dose)?

To answer your main question: yes, assuming taking the drug 2 times a day, you can expect that just before taking the next tablet, the concentration of the drug in milk will be the lowest possible during the day. I will also provide some additional information about the use of lamotrigine during breastfeeding. Breastfeeding with lamotrigine (Lamotrix) is less likely to have side effects in the baby than using it during pregnancy. There have been no or rare side effects in infants breastfed by mothers using lamotrigine, especially at low daily doses - such as those of you. However, it is worth remembering that the side effects that may appear in the child in connection with the use of this drug by you may include: excessive sedation, drowsiness, rash or too little weight gain. I encourage you to consult a specialist on the use of drugs in lactation, who will help you assess whether it is necessary to reduce the frequency of feeding to two per day. I do not know the situation of you and your child, I do not know how old she is, so I do not propose specific solutions. However, it is always worth remembering that it is not always necessary to reduce the frequency of feedings in order to be able to maintain the treatment.
