Topamax (Topiramate)

Topamax Information:

Topamax (generic name: Topiramate) is a drug which is prescribed as a seizure medication, also known as anticonvulsants. Topamax is used to treat seizures in patients over the age of 10. It may be prescribed for conditions such as epilepsy. Topamax is also prescribed to prevent migraines. Epilepsy is a condition in which patients suffer from seizures, which can be brought on by flashing images or lights, or without any apparent reason. It is not always known why epilepsy occurs, although some of the causes are thought to be brain damage from birth, stroke and brain infections such as meningitis. Other seizure conditions are thought to be caused by unusual chemical activity in the brain.
