TEVA are currently out of supplies of all lamotrigine. This is the 25mg, 50mg and 100mg.

There has been a problem at the manufacturers.

They are hoping the supplies will be back by mid July. As soon as we know the supplies are back, we will announce it on this page.

If you have a concern about this please speak to your doctor, epilepsy nurse or Epilepsy Action Helpline 0808 800 5050. We are open Monday to Friday from 8.30am until 5.30pm

Hi Diane,

Thank you so much for notification, which I am sure many are grateful for.

Luckily, my supply of meds is Carbamazepine and Phenytoin.

I feel for those who are now unable to get! What on earth are they supposed to do in the meantime? Please may they remain safe!

Regards,

Les
