Is topamax an anticholinergic drug?

Question

Answer

Topamax (topiramate) is not an anticholinergic drug, it belongs to the drug class of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor anticonvulsants.

Topiramate enhances the effects of the inhibitory γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated neurotransmission through an inter-action with the GABAA receptors, resulting in increased brain GABA level.

And as you most likely are aware:

Anticholinergic medications (shorthand: "anticholinergics") are drugs that block and inhibit the activity of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) at both central and peripheral nervous system synapses.
