How does topiramate work?
topiramate is an antiepileptic. It’s not exactly clear how this medication works to prevent migraines. But in order to control seizures, topiramate blocks your brain from sending certain signals or chemicals that can overly excite your nerves. This helps to reduce the bursts of activity in your brain, which prevents seizures.
