Topamac 50mg Tablet contains topiramate (50 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Blocking Voltage-Dependent Sodium Channels: Topiramate helps control abnormal electrical activity in the brain by blocking these channels.

• Enhancing GABA Activity: GABA is a neurotransmitter that inhibits brain activity. Topiramate augments the activity of GABA, further reducing brain excitability.

• Antagonizing Glutamate Receptors: By opposing the action of certain glutamate receptors, topiramate contributes to a decrease in abnormal brain activity.

• Inhibiting Carbonic Anhydrase: Particularly isozymes II and IV, this topiramate action helps reduce the frequency of seizures and migraines.
