Description:
Topamac 25mg Tablet contains topiramate, an anticonvulsant medication also used to prevent migraines. As an antiepileptic drug, topiramate works by decreasing the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain, thereby controlling seizures.
It is used both as a monotherapy and as an adjunctive therapy for various types of seizures, including partial-onset seizures, primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. In migraine prevention, topiramate is thought to stabilize electrical activity in the brain and reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches.
Topamac 25mg tablets can be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. The dosage is usually started low and gradually increased by a doctor based on the individual’s response and tolerability. Common side effects may include nausea, taste changes, fatigue, diarrhea, weight loss, loss of appetite, and memory impairment. It can also cause vision problems, so regular eye check-ups are important. Patients should be monitored for mood changes or suicidal thoughts. It’s crucial not to stop taking this medication suddenly without consulting a doctor, as it may increase the frequency of seizures.
