Brief Answer:
Topomax is known to cause elevated urea and creatinine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.

I understand your query and concern.

High Scores of CBC readings and Renal functional parameters like urea,creatinine are likely to result from the use of Topomax.

Topomax contains Topiramate which is known to cause kidney stones which if untreated or discovered lead to elevation of blood urea and serum creatinine.

It also leads to elevation of complete blood counts with associated/superadded infection of the stone.

Dulcolax has no relation whatsoever in causing kidney stones and renal damage.

I strongly suggest you to have an ultrasound abdomen and consult your treating physician to discuss the aforesaid complications of Topomax therapy.

Post your further queries,if any.
Thank you.
