Lamotrigine

Post by margaretk »

Are you aware of any interactions between Lamotrigine/Lamictal and ovarian stimulation? I know there is an interaction between Lamotrigine and OCPs and I wonder if this might make using FSH/LH etc... more problematic. Thank you.

Hi:

You are correct that this medication has profound effects on sex hormones. Most of the studies have been done on male rats. i am not aware of any useful information on its effect on ovarian stimulation for IVF.

Wish I could be more helpful.

Good luck.
