Tormap 100 mg Tablet

Tormap 100 mg Tablet contains 100 mg of topiramate in each tablet. It is an anti-convulsant medicine used to help control certain seizure disorders and, in some patients, to help prevent migraine headaches. Tormap 100 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and may be used alone or with other medicines, depending on the condition being treated.

How it works: Topiramate helps calm overactive electrical activity in the brain, which can reduce the chance of seizures. In tablet form, Tormap 100 mg Tablet provides a measured oral dose that is absorbed after swallowing and used to build a steady effect over time.

Tormap 100 mg Tablet is a relatively strong tablet strength, so it is usually chosen after a doctor has already assessed the patient’s needs and response to lower doses. Because each tablet contains 100 mg, it can fit maintenance dosing or step-up schedules where a clinician wants fewer tablets per dose than lower strengths.

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

• Swallow Tormap 100 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it at the same times each day to help keep a steady level in your body.
• You may take it with or without food.
• Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet unless a pharmacist or doctor says it is safe for your specific prescription.
• Drink enough fluids during treatment, because topiramate can raise the risk of kidney stones.
• If your prescriber is changing your dose, follow the schedule exactly and do not increase it on your own.

Each Tormap 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of topiramate per tablet. Your doctor decides how many tablets you need and how often to take them; some patients take it once daily while others take it twice daily, and the maximum daily dose depends on the condition being treated and your response. Because this is a 100 mg strength, it is not the usual low starting dose for many people, so your prescriber may use lower strengths first or may choose this tablet as part of a higher maintenance regimen.

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