Introduction
Topirva XR 50 is a medicine used to treat epilepsy (seizures) and to prevent migraines. It is also used in the treatment of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (a rare, but severe form of epilepsy that starts in early childhood). Topirva XR 50 controls seizures by decreasing the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain. It may be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time, each day. If you have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember it and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping the medication suddenly without talking to your doctor may cause increased frequency of seizures. Your doctor may advise regular monitoring of serum bicarbonate levels while you are taking this medicine. Some of the common side effects of this medicine include nausea, taste change, fatigue, diarrhea, weight loss, loss of appetite, and memory impairment. It may also cause vision problems like myopia or glaucoma, so it is important to get your eyesight checked before you start the treatment and regularly thereafter. You may experience dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. Please consult your doctor if these side effects bother you or do not go away.

Mode of Action
Topiramate is a sulfamate-substituted monosaccharide with precise mechanism of action unknown. It may be due to various mechanisms e.g. blocking of voltage-dependent sodium channels; augmenting the activity of ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at GABA-A receptor; antagonising AMPA/kainate glutamate receptors; inhibiting carbonic anhydrase.
Precaution
Renal or hepatic impairment, pregnancy, lactation. May impair ability to drive or operate machinery. Maintain adequate hydration to reduce the risk of renal calculi especially in predisposed patients. Measure serum bicarbonate at baseline and periodically during treatment. Avoid abrupt withdrawal; decrease dose by 100 mg daily at wkly intervals. Seek immediate medical attention if blurred vision or eye pain. Monitor closely for decreased sweating and increased body temperature, especially in hot weather. Ensure proper hydration before and during activities or exposure to warm temperatures. Lactation: Excreted in milk; use caution
