Regutran 100mg Tablet

Regutran 100mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Topiramate, which is a medication primarily used as an antiepileptic or anticonvulsant agent. It’s prescribed for managing various types of seizures and for preventing migraines.

Active Ingredient:

Topiramate: This medication is thought to work by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain, including gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate. It is believed to enhance GABA activity, which helps to calm overactive nerve firings associated with seizures, and may also block sodium channels, thereby reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

Uses:

Regutran 100mg Tablet is indicated for:

• Treatment of epilepsy or seizure disorders in adults and children.
• Prevention of migraine headaches in adults.

Mechanism of Action:

Topiramate is thought to exert its antiepileptic effects by enhancing the activity of GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, and by blocking sodium channels, which reduces the spread of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Its mechanism in preventing migraines is not fully understood but may involve modulation of neurotransmitter levels and neuronal excitability.
