- W2010015820 abstract "Topiramate is an antiepileptic drug with potentially serious adverse effects. In placebo-controlled trials, myopia was seen in 1% of children and abnormal vision in 13% of adults under the drug. In 2001, postmarketing experience led the US Food and Drug Administration to warn about a new syndrome consisting of acute myopia associated with secondary angle closure glaucoma, and this was added to its labelling. Up to March 2004, the Spanish System of Pharmacovigilance has gathered six reports of myopia and two of glaucoma in eight patients treated with topiramate (see Table 1). In all cases the only suspect medicine was topiramate. Time to onset of symptoms was reported in seven cases; in five the reaction appeared within the first week. All cases of myopia recovered in less than 1 week after drug discontinuation. One patient with glaucoma was operated because initially the role of topiramate was not suspected as the cause. Alternative causes other than topiramate were excluded in most reports. As in previous experiences, these complications occurred early in the course of therapy and they recovered shortly after drug discontinuation [1]. Strikingly, for the six patients for whom the indications for use were known, this was different from epilepsy, which was the only approved indication in Spain until April 2004. The prevalence of epilepsy is low (4–10 per 1000) [2]. In more developed countries, where people are able to pay for new treatments, the prevalence is half that of less developed countries [3], and the majority of patients are already under treatment with one or more antiepileptic drugs. Thus, the market prospects for any pharmaceutical company developing a new antiepileptic drug are limited. Pharmaceutical companies, however, seek market expansion for their products by looking for regulatory approval of additional indications, by involving medical opinion leaders and others in clinical research in new indications, and even by illegally promoting off-label use [4]. Pressure to prescribe concentrates on patent protected medicines. Topiramate is one such drug. Its off-label use made up 14% of the US migraine prophylaxis market [5], before its recent approval for this indication. Monitoring drug safety should not only focus on identifying adverse effects. Pharmacovigilance should be less drug-oriented and more patient-oriented. Had topiramate not been promoted and used for non-approved indications, the patients in the present series would not have developed such serious adverse effects, at the expense of uncertain or absent clinical efficacy in these indications.
