Were you looking for information about Topamax Weight Loss? Topomax and weight loss is a common variation and misspelling of Topamax weight loss.
In clinical studies on Topamax®, weight loss was reported as one of the most common side effects. Up to 16 percent of adults and up to 21 percent of children reported this reaction while taking the medication. For some people, this particular side effect is not a problem; for children, however, weight loss may not be desirable.
Because of this effect, Topamax is sometimes used
off-label as a weight loss medicine. "Off-label" means that the drug is used for a purpose that the Food and Drug Administration has not approved it to treat.
