It is believed to work through several pathways: Blocking voltage-dependent sodium channels , reducing neuronal excitability Enhancing GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) activity , an inhibitory neurotransmitter Antagonising glutamate receptors , further dampening excitatory neurotransmission Inhibiting carbonic anhydrase enzymes , though the clinical significance of this effect varies Topiramate is taken orally, typically once or twice daily
