1.1 Monotherapy Epilepsy
Topiramate tablets, USP are indicated as initial monotherapy in
patients 2 years of age
and older with partial onset or primary generalized tonic-clonic
seizures. Safety and
effectiveness in patients who were converted to monotherapy from a
previous
regimen of other anticonvulsant drugs have not been established in

[see Clinical Studies ( 14.1)].

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION
2.1 Epilepsy
It is not necessary to monitor topiramate plasma concentrations to
optimize
topiramate therapy.
On occasion, the addition of topiramate tablets to phenytoin may
require an
adjustment of the dose of phenytoin to achieve optimal clinical
outcome. Addition or
withdrawal of phenytoin and/or carbamazepine during adjunctive therapy
with
topiramate tablets may require adjustment of the dose of topiramate
tablets.
Because of the bitter taste, tablets should not be broken.
Topiramate tablets can be taken without regard to meals.
