Topiramate antiepileptic drug molecule C013 / 9956
Topiramate. Molecular model of the antiepileptic drug Topiramate (brand name Topamax), an anticonvulsant drug that decreases abnormal excitement in the brain. It is prescribed for a variety of conditions, but it is mainly used to treat epilepsy in both children and adults and is indicated for the treatment of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome in children. The drug is also used in the prevention of migraines and headaches. Possible side effects of Topiramate include drowsiness, weight loss, coordination problems, and fatigue. Atoms are colour-coded: carbon (green), hydrogen (white), nitrogen (blue), sulphur (yellow) and oxygen (red)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular structure of Topiramate, a powerful antiepileptic drug widely used to treat epilepsy in both children and adults. The intricate model reveals the atoms that make up this medication, with carbon represented by green, hydrogen by white, nitrogen by blue, sulphur by yellow, and oxygen by red. Topiramate is not only prescribed for epilepsy but also serves as an effective treatment for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome in children and aids in preventing migraines and headaches. However, like any medication, it may come with some side effects such as drowsiness, weight loss, coordination problems, and fatigue. The image's white background emphasizes the complexity of this chemical compound while highlighting its importance within the field of medicine. This illustration beautifully captures the essence of pharmacology and biochemistry intertwined. Ramon Andrade's artwork provides a visual representation of how Topiramate works at a molecular level to decrease abnormal brain activity associated with seizures. Its space-filled structure demonstrates its effectiveness as an anticonvulsant drug while showcasing its potential use in treating bipolar disorder. Overall, this print serves as a reminder of the incredible advancements made in pharmaceuticals to improve the lives of those affected by neurological conditions such as epilepsy or chronic migraines.
