Topiramate works in three ways to prevent epileptic fits. Firstly, it enhances the activity of a neurotransmitter called GABA in the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are stored in nerve cells and are involved in transmitting messages between the nerve cells. GABA is a neurotransmitter that acts as a natural calming agent. It keeps the nerve activity in the brain in balance. As topiramate enhances the action of GABA, it helps calm the nerve activity in the brain.
