Abstract
Topiramate belongs to the new class of neuromodulators, which has carbonic anhydrase inhibitor activity and been associated with renal calculi. It has also been shown to cause renal potassium wasting; however, it is generally clinically insignificant. Here, we describe a case of refractory hypokalemia in a patient with severe comorbidities who was on topiramate for seizures.
