Q. Can Topirate be used in children?

Yes, Topirate is used for seizures in children more than 2 years of age. However, because of the lack of any reports, this medicine is not recommended to be used in children for migraine.

Q. For how long do I need to take Topirate?

The dose and duration of this medicine will depend on your doctor’s advice. Topirate does not cure your condition (seizures/migraine) but prevents them from occurring. So, you may have to keep taking it for months or years depending on improvement in your symptoms and side effects that may occur.

Q. I am taking valproic acid for fits. Will Topirate interfere with the working of valproic acid? Can this combination be taken?

Topirate does not interfere with the working of valproic acid, but it increases the risk of getting excess levels of ammonia in blood (hyperammonemia). Increased levels of ammonia in blood can be dangerous and may cause difficulty in thinking, remembering information or solving problems. It may also decrease your alertness and make you feel very sleepy with low energy. Immediately inform your doctor if you notice these symptoms. It is important to know that, in rare cases, Topirate alone can cause hyperammonemia.

Q. Is Topirate good for anxiety?

Topirate is not indicated for the treatment of anxiety. Please consult your doctor before taking the medicine.

Q. Since I have started using Topirate people are saying that I have lost weight. Is it because of Topirate or something else for which I should get investigated?

It could be due to Topirate because Topirate commonly causes weight loss probably due to decrease in appetite. If you still have any doubts, talk to your doctor who will advise you appropriately.

Q. What are the serious side effects of Topirate?

Serious side effects of Topirate are rare. The serious effects of Topirate may include glaucoma (difficulty in seeing, eye pain and blurred vision), kidney stones (sharp pain in your sides or lower back) and metabolic acidosis (tiredness, loss of appetite, irregular and faint heartbeat). Other serious side effects of Topirate could be suicidal thoughts and insufficient sweating (some children taking Topirate may not sweat enough in hot weather, causing their body temperatures to rise).
