When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Lamotrigine is primarily converted by the liver to inactive glucuronide metabolites and subsequently eliminated by the kidney. Approximately 10% of a dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged drug. The plasma clearance of lamotrigine may be decreased and the half-life prolonged in patients with impaired renal and/or hepatic function. However, clinical data are limited. In a comparison of 12 healthy subjects and 24 with various degrees of liver disease, lamotrigine pharmacokinetics were significantly altered only in patients with severe cirrhosis. Therapy with lamotrigine should be administered cautiously and at reduced dosages in such patients.
