Side effects of Topamax

Epilepsy is a common sickness. One of the drugs prescribed to treat epileptic seizures is Topamax. Unfortunately, this anti-convulsant medication has been found to have damaging side-effects.

Topamax has been found to cause birth defects such as cleft lip or cleft palate. These defects occur when the lip or palate fail to completely fuse together which can result in a small, notched lip or in extreme cases, an open groove that extends from the roof of the mouth to the nose.
