Can I take Lamotrigine and Ramipril together?

Why this happens

Lamotrigine and ramipril are processed by the body using different pathways. Lamotrigine is primarily broken down by the liver through a process called glucuronidation, while ramipril is processed by different liver enzymes and cleared by the kidneys. They do not interfere with each other's absorption or excretion, nor do they have overlapping side effects that would cause concern.

You can continue taking both medications as prescribed by your doctor. As with any new medication, monitor how you feel and report any unusual symptoms to your GP or pharmacist. Always ensure your healthcare provider is aware of all the medicines you are taking.
