Primary Uses

Seizures

Indications

This medication is used as an adjunctive therapy (treatment given along with the main treatment) for different types of seizures (sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain which may produce changes in your behavior, movements of consciousness) and in certain types of epilepsy (a brain disorder which causes you to have seizures) in patients inadequately controlled by other medications. It is also used in migraine prophylaxis (to prevent a brain disorder which causes intense headaches). Consult your doctor for further details.

Side Effects

Patients using this medication may at times experience confusion, somnolence (feeling extremely sleepy or drowsy), anxiety , depression ,headache, speech and visual disturbances , finding it difficult to concentrate, mood changes , abnormal behavior , ear pain , dyspnea (difficulty in breathing ), impaired balance and co-ordination ,anemia (less red blood cells in the body),  cough , nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) and ataxia (loss of control of body movements).  This is not a comprehensive list. If you experience any of these symptoms or others for a prolonged period of time, please consult your doctor immediately.

Warnings

Pregnancy

Topiramate should only be used during  pregnancy if absolutely necessary. It has the potential to harm an unborn child. Pregnant females should consult their doctors for further information.

Lactation

Topiramate enters breast milk and can have adverse effects on a nursing baby. It is not recommended during lactation. Lactating females should consult their doctors for further information.

Driving

Topiramate can make you dizzy, drowsy, or have blurred vision. If you have such symptoms, avoid doing activities that demand mental awareness, such as driving a car.

Liver

Topiramate must be taken cautiously in patients who have liver problems since it can exacerbate their condition. Based on the clinical state, your doctor may recommend tests to evaluate your liver function on a regular basis, as well as dose changes or replacements with an appropriate alternative.

Kidney

Topiramate is excreted from the body through the urine after being filtered by our kidneys. As a result, if you suffer from kidney problems, you should use Topiramate with caution. A decrease in kidney function may result in a buildup of this medicine in the body, increasing the risk of adverse consequences. Depending on your condition, your doctor may alter the dose of Topiramate.

Alcohol

It is not suggested to drink alcohol while taking Topiramate since it can exacerbate adverse effects like dizziness and concentrating difficulties.

Precautions

Inform your doctor if you are hypersensitive to Topiramate or if you have other allergies before taking Topiramate. Inactive chemicals in this medicine may trigger allergic responses or other complications. For more information, consult your doctor. Before taking Topiramate, speak to your doctor about your medical history, especially if you have: a specific eye condition (narrow angle glaucoma), kidney disorders (like kidney stones), liver disorders, mental issues (such as depression, suicidal thoughts), lung/breathing disorders, a specific metabolic imbalance (metabolic acidosis), a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet (ketogenic diet), long term diarrhea, weak bones (osteoporosis). Topiramate may cause you to sweat less, increasing your risk of heat stroke. Avoid activities that may allow you to overheat, like strenuous labor or exercising in hot weather, as well as using hot bathtubs. Drink plenty of drinks and dress lightly when the temperature is too hot. If you overheat, find a cool location to rest and cool down. If you experience a persistent fever, mental/mood problems, a headache, or dizziness, seek medical attention right away. Inform your doctor or dentist regarding all of the medicines you consume before undergoing surgery (including prescription, nonprescription and herbal medicines). Children might be more susceptible to the Topiramate's adverse effects, particularly weakening bones, delayed growth, and reduced sweating.  For more information, consult a doctor. Older individuals may be more vulnerable to the adverse effects of Topiramate, particularly dizziness. Dizziness increases the probability of a fall in older adults.

Contraindications

This medication is contraindicated in people who already have depression, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, confusion or suicidal thoughts. It should also not be used in patients who have eye problems such as glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye) or reduced visual acuity (decrease in sharpness of vision) as well as in patients who have liver problems or kidney stones among a host of other conditions. For further details, contact your doctor.
