FAQ
Which Topiramate strengths and pack sizes are available?
Generic topiramate tablets come as 25mg, 50mg, 100mg and 200mg, each in packs of 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 or 360 tablets. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
How do I pay for Topiramate delivered to Hong Kong?
By card (Visa, Mastercard or American Express) on an encrypted payment page that keeps your card details off our servers, or with Bitcoin or Ethereum. Once it ships, the tracking page shows where the parcel is, and live chat answers around the clock in English or Cantonese.
What is another name for topiramate?
Brand names for topiramate include Epitomax and Topamax. Topiramate tablets are a pure generic topiramate product and are not any of those brands. Here, topiramate can also be bought online as generic Topamax.
Can I drink alcohol with topiramate?
There is no rule against it, but the two do not mix well: alcohol adds to the drowsiness, dizziness and poor concentration topiramate can cause. One drink with a meal usually sits better than a heavy night out.
What is the difference between topiramate and Topamax?
Only the name. Both products contain topiramate and both come as 25mg, 50mg, 100mg and 200mg tablets, so there is no strength you can get in one and not the other.
Do I have to take topiramate twice a day?
Usually, but not always. Topiramate can be taken once or twice a day, and most people end up with one dose in the morning and one at night, which keeps the amount in the body steady around the clock.
Can topiramate stop my contraceptive pill working?
It can. The pill, patch and ring can be less reliable while topiramate is being taken, and the effect is stronger at the higher daily doses used for epilepsy.
Can topiramate treat a migraine I already have?
No. These tablets are for prevention, not for pain. Taken daily they reduce how many attacks come, but one that has already begun will not be stopped by them.
About Topiramate
What topiramate tablets are for
Topiramate is an anticonvulsant, one of the medicines that calm the bursts of nerve activity behind a seizure. It has two jobs here. In epilepsy it lowers how many seizures someone has. In migraine it works between attacks, reducing how often they come — a migraine already under way is not what these tablets are for. Four strengths are made: 25mg, 50mg, 100mg and 200mg.
How to take them
Topiramate is usually taken once or twice a day. Most people settle into a dose in the morning and another in the evening, roughly twelve hours apart, and food makes little difference to how it works. Swallow each tablet whole with a drink of water.
The dose climbs in stages over the first few weeks, so the pack you start on is usually weaker than the one you settle on. A missed dose can be taken late if the next is still hours away, and left out if the next is nearly due.
Stopping is done in steps, never all at once: a sudden halt can bring on a seizure even in someone who has never had one.
Side effects to know about
Drowsiness, dizziness, sickness, tiredness and loose stools are common in the opening weeks and usually settle as the body adjusts. Appetite often drops and a little weight may come off, and some people notice pins and needles in their fingers and toes. Concentration can dip and low mood can set in. Until any sleepiness passes, leave driving and machinery alone.
Serious reactions are uncommon. A spreading or blistering rash, peeling skin, or swelling of the face, lips or tongue with breathing trouble all need urgent help. A rare build-up of acid in the body shows as unusual sleepiness, no appetite and a heartbeat that turns fast or uneven. Kidney stones can also occur, and sudden eye pain with blurred vision or a red eye needs urgent treatment.
Where Topamax fits
Topamax is the other topiramate tablet in the shop, also in 25mg, 50mg, 100mg and 200mg. It is the brand-name version, while these tablets are sold under the ingredient's own name. If Topamax is the name you came looking for, its page is one click away.
Interactions
Carbamazepine and phenytoin, two other epilepsy medicines, lower the amount of topiramate in the blood. Alcohol and sedating medicines add to the sleepiness and unsteadiness, and hormonal contraception can become less dependable.
