Is it a risk for an epileptic woman (controlled with Lamotrigine medication 2x/day) to have an IUD installed?

It is generally safe for a woman with epilepsy controlled with Lamotrigine medication to have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted. Since the IUD Kyleena contains only a progestin hormone, it does not pose a risk of interacting with the Lamotrigine medication. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss individual health considerations before choosing a contraceptive method.
