A member asked:

Will 150mg per day topamax (topiramate) interfere with the nexplanon implant? i was told wouldn't, but the information that came w/ it says it could?

It does,: because topamax (topiramate) will decrease the level of nexplanon by altering drug metabolism and you may become pregnant. Talk to your doctor for medication adjustment. Good luck.

Topomax: I think the information that you received was correct, that Topamax (topiramate) will not interfere
