SABRIL (vigabatrin) is a prescription medicine used with other treatments in children and adults 2 years of age and older with refractory complex partial seizures (CPS) that have not responded all right to numerous other therapies and if the possible benefits exceed the threat of vision loss.
One of the most usual negative effects of SABRIL in children 3 to 16 years is weight gain. With serious vision loss, you might just be able to see points straight in front of you (often called one-track mind"). You are at threat for vision loss with any quantity of SABRIL.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or intend to get expectant. If vision testing can not be done, your doctor might proceed prescribing SABRIL, yet will certainly not be able to look for any kind of vision loss. Your healthcare company may stop suggesting SABRIL for you (or your child)if vision tests are not done on a regular basis.
