SABRIL (vigabatrin) is a prescription medicine used with other treatments in children and grownups 2 years old and older with refractory complex partial seizures (CPS) that have not responded well enough to a number of other therapies and if the possible benefits outweigh the threat of vision loss.
The most common side effect of SABRIL in children 3 to 16 years is weight gain. With extreme vision loss, you may only be able to see points straight in front of you (often called tunnel vision"). You are at danger for vision loss with any type of quantity of SABRIL.
Inform your doctor if you are expectant or mean to obtain pregnant. If vision screening can not be done, your healthcare provider might continue recommending SABRIL, but will certainly not have the ability to expect any vision loss. If vision tests are refrained consistently, your healthcare provider may quit suggesting SABRIL for you (or your kid).
