What is Topamax?
Topimax contains the active ingredient topiramate, which is used to treat epilepsy and prevent migraines in adults.
In people with epilepsy, there is excessive electrical activity in the brain; This leads to unusually rapid and repetitive electrical signals to be released in the brain, causing fits and seizures.
Topiramate works by stabilising electrical activity in the brain. It works in different ways to achieve this:
Topiramate increases the amount of a certain chemical in the brain, gamma-aminobutyric acid (or GABA for short), which calms the brain down and stops the nerves firing inappropriately.
Topiramate also calms excessive brain activity down by preventing sodium from entering the nerve cells when they begin to fire rapid and repetitive electrical signals. This prevents the electrical signal from building up and passing on.
It is not fully understood how ltopiramate works to prevent migraines, but it does reduce the number of attacks that are experienced and their severity. The medicine has to be taken on a continuous basis to prevent migraines. It doesn't work to treat individual migraine attacks.
Topiramate may be used on its own, or as an additional treatment, if other antiepileptic medicines have failed to fully control the epileptic seizures.
