About this item
DESCRIPTION

Topiramate is a veterinary drug that treats seizure disorders in cats and dogs. It is generally not used as the sole means of seizure control, but often administered concomitantly with other anticonvulsants. It is a great choice for dogs suffering from cluster seizures (a condition that causes many seizures to occur within a short time period). It is not approved by the FDA for animal use, but it is often (and legally) prescribed by veterinarians for extra-label. use.

Key Benefits: Topiramate blocks repeated nerve stimulation, which reduces canine and feline seizures.

Formulated For: Intended for cats and dogs.
