Lamotrigine Safety In Breastfeeding

Mother is taking Lamotrigine 300mg/day for epilepsy since 2 -3 yrs. she has a baby of 3months age who is 4.7 kgs.

Baby has diagnosed etopic dermatites 5 wks back. she just recovered from diaper rash.

baby got Eazy 5 vaccine 3 wks back and with 2 wks gap got BCG vaccination.

Recently since 4days the rash on her body has increased ( generalized erythema with patched of scaly regions over scalp, flexor regions of elbow and knee areas associated with scaling.there r also patches of erythematous and scaling regions on her back and legs.)


we r using antiallergic ointment (derma shield), topical 1% steroid ointment, and 10 drops TID of CPM and Phenylephrine combination.

she is irritable and crying always.

Can u suggest us how safe the drug Lamotrigine is during breast feeding if the mother is taking it 150mg twi ce a day.
