Topiramate
Generic name: Topiramate Succinate, Topamac, Topamate, Topaz
Use: Seizures, migraines
Topamax is a drug used for the treatment of seizures and migraines. It is primarily a seizure medication that belongs to the group of drugs called anti-convulsants. It is often used alone in adults and children over the age of 10, or in combination with other drugs to treat children of at least 2 years old. Seizures may occur as symptoms of illnesses such as epilepsy, which is an illness of the brain whereby the chemicals become imbalanced and this leads to seizures (also known as epileptic fits). When used for the treatment of migraines, it only prevents future migraines and reduces the number of migraines that you may experience. It does not treat a migraine headache that has already begun. We currently have brand Janssen-Cilag Topamax and generic Topiramate available in stock, the dosage of Topamax ranges from 25 mg to 200 mg.
