Overview

Brief Summary

The investigators intend to find a way to lower drug rash occurrence by applying drug tolerance induction protocol at the beginning of lamotrigine administration.

Genotyping of participants with rash and those without rash after taking lamotrigine and genetic testing to find common gene mutations in these participants.

Arms & Interventions

Lamotrigine tolerance

Experimental

Intervention: Lamotrigine (Drug)
