TopiramateThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Topiramate but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Topiramate (when available) Topiramate is an anticonvulsant indicated in the treatment of epilepsy and migraine. The precise mechanisms by which Topiramate exerts its anticonvulsant and migraine prophylaxis effects are unknown; however, preclinical studies have revealed four properties that may contribute to Topiramate's efficacy for epilepsy and migraine prophylaxis. Electrophysiological and biochemical evidence suggests that Topiramate, at pharmacologically relevant concentrations, blocks voltage-dependent sodium channels, augments the activity of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyrate at some subtypes of the GABAA receptor, antagonizes the AMPA/kainate subtype of the glutamate receptor, and inhibits the carbonic anhydrase enzyme, particularly isozymes II and IV. Used for the treatment of partial or primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures also used as a treatment for adults with partial-onset seizures. Also indicated for prophylaxis of migraine headaches Mechanism Of Action: Topiramate most likely exerts its actions by four mechanisms: (1) blockage of voltage-dependent sodium channels, (2) augmentation of the activity of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyrate at some subtypes of the GABAA receptor, (3) antagonism of the AMPA/kainate subtype of the glutamate receptor, (4) inhibition of the carbonic anhydrase enzyme.
