Cerbilep 50 MG Tablet 10 contains topiramate (50 mg), and its therapeutic functions are as follows:

Reduction in neuronal firing: Topiramate helps block certain channels in your body that allow sodium ions to pass through, reducing sustained repetitive neuronal firing.
Enhancement of neurotransmission: It enhances the activity of GABA-mediated chloride channels, leading to an increase in inhibitory neurotransmission.
Decreases excitatory neurotransmission: Topiramate acts against AMPA/kainate glutamate receptors, which helps reduce excitatory neurotransmission.
Inhibits carbonic anhydrase: It also inhibits carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes II and IV.

These actions together help in suppressing seizure activity, preventing the spread to neighbouring neurons, and stabilising hyperexcitable neurons.
