Brief Answer:
Lamotrigine is an anti epileptic

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

I have read your previous queries. Lamotrigine is an anti epileptic medication and has no pharmacology related to treating GERD/Dyspepsia or Gastritis.

I would empirically recommend a two week course of a course of A PPI like Esomeprazole or pantoprazole and a pro kinetic like itopride to see for improvement, The combination involving ginger and honey should be avoided till then. You may use an anti spasmodic like Hyoscine butylbromide to relieve any pain for the time being.

Let me know if you have any query

wishing you best of health

thanks

You could take it

hello again.

If its a one off episode then you may take it for 5 days 20 mg twice a day or 40 mg once.

If its a recurrent problem then you should take it for two weeks at least.
