GENERIC NAME: Topiramate
BRAND NAME: Topamax
Why is Topiramate prescribed?
Topiramate is used alone or with other medications to treat certain types
of seizures in people who have epilepsy. Topiramate is also used with other
medications to control seizures in people who have Lennox-Gastaut syndrome
(a disorder that causes seizures and developmental delays). Topiramate is
used to treat patients who continue to have seizures even when they take other
anti-seizure medications. Topiramate is also used to prevent migraine headaches,
but not to relieve the pain of migraine headaches when they occur. Topiramate
is in a class of medications called anticonvulsants. It works by decreasing
abnormal excitement in the brain.
How should Topiramate be used?
Topiramate comes as a tablet and a sprinkle capsule (capsule that contains
small beads of medication that can be sprinkled on food) to take by mouth.
It is usually taken with or without food twice a day in the morning and evening.
Take Topiramate at around the same times every day. Follow the directions
on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to
explain any part you do not understand. Take Topiramate exactly as directed.
Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your
doctor.
There is another medication with a name similar to the brand name for Topiramate.
You should be sure that you receive Topiramate and not the similar medication
each time you fill your prescription. Be sure that the prescription your doctor
gives you is clear and easy to read. Talk to your pharmacist to be sure that
you are given Topiramate. After you receive your medication, compare the tablets
to the pictures in the manufacturer's patient information sheet. If you think
you were given the wrong medication, talk to your pharmacist. Do not take
any medication unless you are certain it is the medication that your doctor
prescribed.
Topiramate tablets have a bitter taste and lose their effectiveness quickly
when broken, so you should swallow them whole. Do not split, chew, or crush
them.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of Topiramate and gradually
increase your dose, not more than once every week.
Topiramate may control your seizures or migraines, but will not cure your
condition. Continue to take Topiramate even if you feel well. Do not stop
taking Topiramate without talking to your doctor. If you suddenly stop taking
Topiramate, you may have severe seizures, even if you have not had seizures
in the past. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose gradually.
The sprinkle capsules may be swallowed whole or opened and poured over food.
To take the sprinkle capsule with food, follow these steps:
Prepare a teaspoonful of soft food such as applesauce, custard, ice cream,
oatmeal, pudding, or yogurt.
Hold the capsule upright over the food. You should be able to read the word
'TOP' on the capsule.
Twist off the clear part of the capsule and pour the entire contents onto
the spoonful of food.
Swallow the entire mixture immediately without chewing.
Drink fluids right after swallowing to wash down the mixture and to be sure
that you swallow all of it.
Other uses for Topiramate
Topiramate is also used for the management of alcohol dependence. Talk to
your doctor about the risks of using Topiramate for your condition.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before taking Topiramate,
tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to Topiramate or any
other medications.
tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications,
vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking. Be
sure to mention any of the following: acetazolamide (Diamox); amitriptyline;
antidepressants; antihistamines; dichlorphenamide (Daranide); digoxin (Lanoxin,
Digitek); ipratropium (Atrovent); iron; isoniazid (INH, Nydrazid); hydrochlorothiazide
(Microzide, Oretic); lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid); medications for anxiety,
irritable bowel disease, mental illness, motion sickness, Parkinson's disease,
ulcers, or urinary problems; metformin (Glucophage); methazolamide; oral contraceptives
(birth control pills); other medications for seizures such as carbamazepine
(Tegretol) and phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek); pioglitazone (Actos); risperidone
(Risperdal); salicylate pain relievers such as aspirin, choline magnesium
trisalicylate (Trisalate), choline salicylate (Arthropan), diflunisal (Dolobid),
magnesium salicylate (Doan's, others), and salsalate (Argesic, Disalcid, Salgesic);
sedatives; sleeping pills; tranquilizers; valproic acid (Depakene, Depakote);
and zonisamide (Zonegran). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your
medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
tell your doctor if you or any family members have or have ever had kidney
stones, if you drink or have ever drunk large amounts of alcohol, and if you
have ever thought about killing yourself or tried to do so. Also tell you
doctor if you have or have ever had metabolic acidosis (a disturbance in the
body's acid-base balance that results in excessive acidity of the blood.);
osteopenia, osteomalacia, or osteoporosis (conditions in which the bones are
soft or brittle and may break easily); diabetes; glaucoma (a type of eye disease);
any disease that affects your breathing such as asthma or chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD); depression or abnormal moods; a growth problem;
or liver or kidney disease. Also tell your doctor if you have diarrhea or
if you develop diarrhea during your treatment.
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding.
If you become pregnant while taking Topiramate, call your doctor.
if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist
that you are taking Topiramate.
you should know that Topiramate may make you drowsy, dizzy, confused, or unable
to concentrate. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how
Topiramate affects you.
if you are taking Topiramate to control seizures, you should know that you
may continue to have seizures during your treatment. You may need to avoid
activities such as swimming, driving, and climbing so that you will not harm
yourself or others if you lose consciousness during a seizure.
ask your doctor about the safe use of alcoholic beverages while you are taking
Topiramate.
if you are taking oral contraceptives (birth control pills), tell your doctor
if unexpected bleeding or spotting occurs. Topiramate can decrease the effectiveness
of oral contraceptives.
you should know that Topiramate can prevent you from sweating and make it
harder for your body to cool down when it gets very hot. This happens most
often in warm weather and to children who take Topiramate. Avoid exposure
to heat, drink plenty of fluids and tell your doctor if you have a fever,
headache, muscle cramps, or an upset stomach, or if you are not sweating as
usual.
you should know that you may be more likely to develop a kidney stone while
you are taking Topiramate. Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day to prevent
kidney stones from forming.
you should know that your mental health may change in unexpected ways, and
you may become suicidal (thinking about harming or killing yourself or planning
or trying to do so) while you are taking Topiramate for the treatment of epilepsy,
mental illness, or other conditions. A small number of adults and children
5 years of age and older who took antiepileptics such as Topiramate during
clinical studies were found to be twice as likely to become suicidal than
people who did not take the medication. This increased risk of suicidal behavior
was seen as early as one week after starting the medication. You, your family,
or your caregiver should call your doctor right away if you experience any
of the following symptoms: anxiety, agitation, hostility, mania (frenzied,
abnormally excited mood), talking or thinking about wanting to hurt yourself
or end your life, withdrawing from friends and family, new or worsening depression,
preoccupation with death and dying, or giving away prized possessions. Be
sure that your family or caregiver knows which symptoms may be serious so
they can call the doctor if you are unable to seek treatment on your own.
What special dietary instructions should I follow?
Talk to your doctor about increasing the amount of food you eat if you lose
weight while you are taking Topiramate.
Talk to your doctor before changing your diet or beginning any type of weight
loss program. Do not follow a ketogenic diet (a high-fat, low-carbohydrate
diet used to control seizures) or any other high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet,
such as the Atkins diet, while you are taking Topiramate.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is less than
6 hours before you are scheduled to take your next dose, skip the missed dose
and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make
up for a missed one.
