Toramat may cause severe skin reactions; if a rash and/or blisters appear on the skin, the patient should immediately inform their doctor (see also section 4 "Possible adverse reactions").
Toramat may rarely cause an increase in blood ammonia levels (detected in blood tests), which can cause changes in brain function, especially if the patient is also taking a medicinal product containing valproic acid or sodium valproate.

In particular, the patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist if they are taking:

  • other medicines that have a harmful effect or decrease thinking, concentration, or muscle coordination (e.g., central nervous system depressants, such as muscle relaxants and sedatives),
  • hormonal contraceptives. Toramat may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives. The patient should use an additional barrier method of contraception, such as a condom or diaphragm/cervical cap. The patient should discuss with their doctor the best method of contraception to use while taking Toramat.

The patient should tell their doctor if their menstrual bleeding changes while taking hormonal contraceptives and Toramat. Irregular menstrual bleeding may occur. In such cases, the patient should continue to use hormonal contraceptives and inform their doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Important advice for women of childbearing age
Toramat may harm the unborn child. Women of childbearing age should discuss with their doctor the possibility of using other treatment methods instead of Toramat. If the decision is made to start treatment with Toramat, the patient should use highly effective contraception during treatment and for at least 4 weeks after the last dose of Toramat.
Migraine prevention

  • Toramat must not be taken during pregnancy.
  • Toramat must not be taken if the patient is of childbearing age unless a highly effective method of contraception is used.
  • Before starting treatment with Toramat, a pregnancy test should be performed in women of childbearing age.

Epilepsy treatment

  • Toramat must not be taken if the patient is pregnant unless no other treatment method provides sufficient control of epileptic seizures.
  • Toramat must not be taken if the patient is of childbearing age unless a highly effective method of contraception is used. The only exception is when Toramat is the only medicine that provides sufficient control of seizures, and the patient plans to become pregnant. The patient should discuss this with their doctor to ensure they have received information about the risk of taking Toramat during pregnancy and the risk of seizures during pregnancy, which may put the patient or the unborn child at risk.
  • Before starting treatment with Toramat, a pregnancy test should be performed in women of childbearing age.

Risk of taking topiramate during pregnancy (regardless of the disease being treated):
There is a risk of harmful effects on the unborn child if Toramat is taken during pregnancy.

  • Taking Toramat during pregnancy increases the risk of birth defects in the child. In women taking topiramate, birth defects occur in about 4-9 out of 100 children. For comparison, this figure is 1-3 out of 100 children born to women who do not have epilepsy and do not take antiepileptic medicines. In particular, cleft lip (cleft lip) and cleft palate (cleft palate) have been observed. In newborn boys, a developmental defect of the penis (hypospadias) may also occur. These defects can develop early in pregnancy, even before the patient knows they are pregnant.
  • Taking Toramat during pregnancy may increase the risk of autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disability, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the child by 2 to 3 times compared to children born to women with epilepsy who do not take antiepileptic medicines.
  • Taking Toramat during pregnancy may result in the child being smaller and having a lower birth weight. In one study, 18% of children whose mothers took topiramate during pregnancy were smaller and weighed less than expected, while in women without epilepsy who did not take antiepileptic medicines, this figure was 5% of newborns.
  • In case of doubts, the patient should ask their doctor about the risk during pregnancy. Other medicines used to treat this disease may be available, which are associated with a lower risk of birth defects.

Necessity of using contraception in women of childbearing age:

  • Women of childbearing age should discuss with their doctor the possibility of using other treatment methods instead of Toramat. If the decision is made to start treatment with Toramat, the patient should use highly effective contraception during treatment and for at least 4 weeks after the last dose of Toramat.
  • The patient should use one highly effective contraceptive method (such as an intrauterine device) or two complementary methods of contraception, such as a contraceptive pill, in combination with a barrier method of contraception (such as a condom or diaphragm/cervical cap). The patient should discuss with their doctor which method of contraception will be most suitable for them.

If the patient is taking hormonal contraceptives, topiramate may decrease their effectiveness. Therefore, the patient should use an additional barrier method of contraception (such as a condom or diaphragm/cervical cap).

  • If irregular menstrual bleeding occurs, the patient should inform their doctor.
  • Taking Toramat in girls:The parents or guardians of a girl treated with Toramat must immediately contact the doctor when the girl experiences her first menstrual period. The doctor will inform them about the risk to the unborn child resulting from exposure to topiramate during pregnancy and the need to use highly effective contraception.

If the patient wants to become pregnant while taking Toramat:

  • The patient should make an appointment with their doctor.
  • The patient should not stop using contraception until they have discussed this with their doctor.
  • If the patient is taking Toramat for epilepsy, they should not stop taking it without consulting their doctor, as the disease may worsen.
  • The doctor will reassess the treatment and alternative treatment options. The doctor will inform the patient about the risk of taking Toramat during pregnancy and may refer them to another specialist.
  • If the patient becomes pregnant or suspects they may be pregnant while taking Toramat:
  • The patient should make an urgent appointment with their doctor.
  • If the patient is taking Toramat for migraine prevention, they should stop taking it immediately and consult their doctor, who will assess whether alternative treatment is necessary.
  • If the patient is taking Toramat for epilepsy, they should not stop taking it without consulting their doctor, as this may worsen the disease. Worsening of epilepsy may put the patient or the unborn child at risk.
  • The doctor will reassess the treatment and alternative treatment options. The doctor will inform the patient about the risk of taking Toramat during pregnancy and may refer them to another specialist.
  • If Toramat is taken during pregnancy, the patient will be closely monitored to check the development of the unborn child.

The patient should carefully read the Patient Guide provided by their doctor. The Patient Guide can also be obtained by scanning the QR code, see section 6 "Contents of the packaging and other information".
A patient card is attached to the packaging of Toramat, which reminds about the risk associated with taking topiramate during pregnancy.
