Summary
People over 65 years of ag break down (metabolize) drugs differently than younger adults. It
is not known why this happens or how elderly people absorb or break down these drug
differently. These difference may show that elderly individuals need lower doses of
medications to avoid possible toxicity. We are interested in studying how yor body absorbs
and breaks down your lamotrigine medication. This research may indicate that doses of
lamotrigine should be lowered as people get older.
