Topamax or Toprol?
Medication Confusion Alert Please make sure that when your doctor or pharmacist writes or fills your prescription for Topamax (topiramate) for epilepsy treatment or other unapproved use as prescribed by your doctor, that this is what you’re getting and not Toprol (metroprolol succinate). Toprol is used to treat high blood pressure, angina, and heart failure. It may be useful to also remember these drug’s chemical, or generic, names when you go to the pharmacy to get the prescription filled. Taking the wrong medication can hurt you, especially when you have other health conditions or take other medications that can interact with either one of these medications.
