Important Information
Topiramate Tablets IP should be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. Treatment should not be stopped suddenly, particularly when used for seizure control. Adequate fluid intake is generally advised because topiramate may increase the risk of kidney stones. It may also cause metabolic acidosis, vision-related problems, or reduced sweating in some patients. Inform your doctor about kidney problems, glaucoma, metabolic disorders, pregnancy, or plans for pregnancy, and all medicines you are taking.
