Topamax (topiramate) for partial seizures in adults

February 1997

    Ortho-McNeil is now marketing Topamax (topiramate) for partial seizures in adults.

    Neurologists usually treat these seizures with carbamazepine (Tegretol) or phenytoin (Dilantin). Topamax is ADDED for seizures that aren't controlled.

    Topamax works well...probably better than Neurontin (gabapentin) or Lamictal (lamotrigine).
