Abstract
Lamotrigine is beneficial in bipolar disorder and is often prescribed to patients during their period of reproductive potential. We summarise aspects of the pharmacology of lamotrigine, highlight its uses in psychiatric practice, drawing attention to recent findings relating to potential hazards arising from lamotrigine exposure in utero, and make some suggestions for clinical management.
