Description of Topaz 50mg
Topaz 50 Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat epilepsy (seizures), prevent migraines, and manage Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a rare type of epilepsy that begins in childhood. It works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, reducing seizure frequency, and preventing migraine attacks. Topaz 50 can be taken with or without food, ideally at the same time daily. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered. Do not stop the medication suddenly without consulting a doctor, as it may cause seizures to worsen. Regular monitoring of serum bicarbonate levels may be required during treatment.
