Globamate (Topiramate 50 Mg)

GLOBAMATE Tablet is a prescription medication primarily used to manage epilepsy (seizures) and prevent migraine headaches. It is also effective in treating Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a rare but serious form of epilepsy that typically begins in early childhood.

You can take GLOBAMATE Tablet with or without food, ideally at the same time every day to maintain consistent levels in the body. It’s essential to follow the prescribed course and not stop the medication suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this may increase the risk of seizures. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Your doctor might suggest periodic blood tests to monitor bicarbonate levels during treatment.

Some common side effects include changes in taste, nausea, tiredness, memory issues, diarrhea, reduced appetite, and weight loss. This medicine may also affect your vision, potentially causing nearsightedness or glaucoma, so regular eye checkups are advised. It might make you feel dizzy or sleepy, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you understand how it affects you. Speak to your doctor if any side effects become bothersome or don’t go away.
