What is Trokendi XR?

Trokendi XR is a prescription medication used to treat migraines and seizures. It’s prescribed to:

1. Prevent migraines in adults and children aged 12 and over. 
2. Treat partial onset seizures and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in adults and children aged 6 and over. 
3. Treat partial onset seizures, primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (alongside other seizure medications) in adults and children aged 6 and over. 

If you suffer from migraines or have seizures, your physician may have prescribed Trokendi XR to you. It’s a medication you take as an oral capsule. Trokendi XR works by altering the electrical and chemical signals that pass through your brain cells, reducing the chances of you having a migraine or seizure. Your physician will decide how often and what dose of Trokendi XR you need based on your condition and medical history. Always take your Trokendi XR exactly as prescribed. 

Trokendi XR active ingredients

The active ingredient in Trokendi XR is called topiramate. It’s a type of medication called a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. When you take Trokendi XR, the topiramate it contains is absorbed into your bloodstream. It’s then transported to your brain where it begins to take effect. The topiramate is converted into a number of substances that alter the electrical activity of your brain cells and that affect how your brain cells pass signals to each other. By altering electrical activity and chemical signals in your brain, topiramate can reduce the number of migraines or seizures you have.
