Binding in the Eye and other Melanin Containing Tissues: Because lamotrigine binds to melanin, it could accumulate in melanin rich tissues over time. This raises the possibility that lamotrigine may toxicity in these tissues after extended use. Although ophthalmological testing was performed in one controlled clinical trial, the testing was inadequate to exclude subtle effects or injury occurring after long-term exposure. Moreover, the capacity of available tests to detect potentially adverse consequences, if any, of lamotrigine's binding to melanin is unknown.
