Topiramate Overview

Topiramate was originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a preventative treatment for those suffering from chronic bouts of seizures and migraines. However, mounting empirical evidence suggests that the use of medications containing topiramate may increase the risk of pregnant women giving birth to children with congenital birth defects.

On March 4, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning regarding the increased risk of congenital birth defects in babies who were born to women taking topiramate. As a result, The FDA has required that topiramate be placed in Pregnancy Category D because of the conclusive evidence linking the drug to birth defects in children.
