Nextop 100 Tablet

Nextop 100 Tablet contains topiramate 100 mg in each tablet. It is an anti-convulsant medicine used to help control certain types of seizures and, in some patients, to help prevent migraine headaches. Nextop 100 Tablet is a prescription medicine, and the dose is chosen based on the condition being treated and the person’s response.

How it works: Topiramate helps calm overactive nerve signals in the brain, which can reduce the chance of seizures. In tablet form, Nextop 100 Tablet is swallowed and absorbed to provide a systemic effect over time.

Nextop 100 Tablet is the 100 mg tablet strength, so it is a full-strength tablet intended for patients whose doctor has already decided that this dose fits their treatment plan. Because only this strength is sold in our range, it is typically used when a clinician wants a specific 100 mg tablet dose rather than a lower-dose tablet or a different form. It may be part of a gradual dose plan, depending on the condition and how well the medicine is tolerated.

• Partial-onset seizures
• Primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures
• Seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome
• Migraine prevention

• Swallow Nextop 100 Tablet whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly on the schedule prescribed; try to take it at the same time each day.
• It can usually be taken with or without food.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor has told you it is safe to do so.
• If your dose is being increased or decreased, follow the tapering plan exactly; do not stop suddenly.

Each Nextop 100 Tablet provides topiramate 100 mg. The number of tablets per day varies widely depending on whether it is being used for seizures or migraine prevention, and the doctor may prescribe it once daily or in divided doses. The maximum daily dose is set by the prescriber and depends on the indication, other medicines, kidney function, and how you tolerate the 100 mg tablet.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
