Lamitan Tablet 100 mg contains Lasmiditan Hemisuccinate, a selective serotonin (5-HT1F) receptor agonist used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults. Lamitan belongs to the class of medications called ditans, which provide rapid relief from migraine pain and associated symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light (photophobia), and sound (phonophobia). Unlike traditional triptans, Lasmiditan does not cause blood vessel constriction, making it safer for patients with cardiovascular risk factors.

Lamitan Tablet 100 mg offers an effective oral therapy for adults experiencing moderate to severe migraine attacks, helping restore daily functioning quickly.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Lasmiditan Hemisuccinate 100 mg

Mechanism of Action

Lasmiditan selectively binds to 5-HT1F receptors located on trigeminal nerve fibers in the central nervous system. Activation of these receptors:

• Inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory neuropeptides such as CGRP (Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide)

• Reduces neurogenic inflammation

• Modulates pain signaling in the trigeminal pathway

Because it acts on neuronal pathways rather than blood vessels, Lamitan effectively relieves migraine symptoms without vasoconstriction, making it suitable for patients with heart disease or other vascular risk factors.

Indications

Lamitan Tablet 100 mg is indicated for:

• Acute treatment of migraine attacks in adults, with or without aura

• Relief of associated migraine symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia

• Patients who cannot tolerate or are at risk with triptan therapy due to cardiovascular concerns

It is not intended for prophylactic treatment of migraine or for cluster headaches.

Dosage and Administration

• The recommended dose is 100 mg orally at the onset of migraine pain.

• If the migraine persists or returns, a second dose may be taken after at least 2 hours, with a maximum dose of 200 mg in 24 hours.

• Tablets should be swallowed whole with water and can be taken with or without food.

Patients should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery for at least 8 hours after taking Lamitan due to potential dizziness or sedation.

Benefits

• Provides rapid relief from migraine pain and associated symptoms

• Effective in patients with cardiovascular risk who cannot use triptans

• Convenient oral tablet for quick administration

• Non-vasoconstrictive mechanism reduces cardiovascular concerns

• Improves quality of life by allowing patients to resume normal activities sooner

Precautions

• Use cautiously in patients with severe liver impairment

• May cause central nervous system effects such as dizziness or sedation; avoid alcohol or CNS depressants

• Not recommended during pregnancy unless prescribed by a healthcare professional

• Inform your doctor about all medications being taken to avoid potential interactions, especially with other CNS depressants
