Topiramate tablets maycauseeyeproblems. Serious eye problems include:
•
any sudden decrease in vision with or without eye pain and redness,
•
a blockage of fluid in the eye causing increased pressure in the eye
(secondary angle closure
glaucoma).
•
These eye problems can lead to permanent loss of vision if not
treated.
•
You should call your healthcare provider right away if you have any
new eye symptoms, including
any new problems with your vision.
Topiramate tablets may cause decreased sweating and increased body

People, especially children, should be watched for signs of decreased
sweating and fever, especially in hot

condition. Call your healthcare provider right
away if you have a high fever, a fever that does not go away, or
decreased sweating.

(metabolic acidosis). If left untreated,
metabolic acidosis can cause brittle or soft bones (osteoporosis,
osteomalacia, osteopenia), kidney stones, can
slow the rate of growth in children, and may possibly harm your baby
if you are pregnant. Metabolic acidosis
can happen with or without symptoms.
Sometimes people with metabolic acidosis will:

•
not feel hungry (loss of appetite)
•
feel changes in heartbeat
•
have trouble thinking clearly
Your healthcare provider should do a blood test to measure the level
of acid in your blood before and during
