The Vigabatrin REMS Program is needed by the FDA to make sure informed risk-benefit decisions before starting therapy, and to guarantee proper use of vigabatrin while patients are treated. It is not feasible for your healthcare provider to know when vision loss will certainly happen.
One of the most typical side effect of SABRIL in children 3 to 16 years is weight gain. With extreme vision loss, you might only have the ability to see points right before you (occasionally called tunnel vision"). You are at threat for vision loss with any kind of amount of SABRIL.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to get expectant. If vision testing can not be done, your doctor might continue recommending SABRIL, yet will not be able to watch for any type of vision loss. If vision tests are not done routinely, your doctor may stop suggesting SABRIL for you (or your kid).
