Not at all. It is similar to a calcium channel blocker.
It is completely unrelated to sulfa and contains absolutely no sulfa. I assume you ask this because you have a sulfa allergy?
This will not be a problem for you, if that is your reason for the question.
If this answer is helpful to you, please indicate such.
God bless.

Just to put your mind at ease my friend.
LAMICTAL (lamotrigine), an AED of the phenyltriazine class, is chemically unrelated to existing AEDs.

The structural formula is:
