Some migraine medications are taken at the start of a migraine. They work one migraine at a time. TOPAMAX works differently. It's a daily prescription medication that you take for as long as you and your healthcare professional decide you need it.
Migraines can't be completely eliminated, but TOPAMAX can help stop them before they start, so you can get fewer of them.
TOPAMAX.com is a resource for people with migraines and for patients taking TOPAMAX.
Here, you can discover the causes and effects of this neurological condition. Evaluate your history with migraine treatments and consider how migraines are impacting your life today. And discover the potential benefits of migraine prevention with TOPAMAX.
Migraine Quick Facts:
Migraine is a chronic, debilitating condition that is underdiagnosed, undertreated and misunderstood.
Approximately 30 million Americans suffer from migraines, and less than half are properly diagnosed with the condition. Migraines most commonly occur between the ages of 30 and 49, a time when people are actively involved in the workforce.
Recently, the American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention Study showed that almost
98 percent of people with frequent migraines take medications, but a large majority reported their lives are still negatively impacted by the pain and disability associated with migraine.
In addition, approximately 40 percent of frequent migraine sufferers could benefit from preventive therapy, yet only 13 percent typically are on a migraine preventive medication.
