MEDICATION GUIDE
Topiramate Tablets, USP
(toe-PEER-uh-mate)
Read this Medication Guide before you start taking topiramate tablets
and each time you get a refill.
There may be new information. This information does not take the place
of talking to your healthcare
provider about your medical condition or treatment. If you have any
questions about topiramate tablets,
talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
What is the most important information I should know about topiramate
tablets?
Topiramate tablets may cause eye problems. 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
temperature (fever).
People, especially children, should be watched for signs of decreased
sweating and fever, especially in
hot temperatures. Some people may need to be hospitalized for this
condition. Call your healthcare
provider right away if you have a high fever, a fever that does not go
away, or decreased sweating.
Topiramate tablets can increase the level of acid in your blood
(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:
•
feel tired
•
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 bl
