SABRIL (vigabatrin) is a prescription medication utilized with various other treatments in grownups and children 2 years of age and older with refractory complicated partial seizures (CPS) who have not reacted all right to numerous other treatments and if the possible benefits surpass the risk of vision loss.
The most usual negative effects of SABRIL in kids 3 to 16 years is weight gain. With extreme vision loss, you may only be able to see points right before you (in some cases called tunnel vision"). You are at threat for vision loss with any amount of SABRIL.
If you are pregnant or plan to get pregnant, tell your healthcare provider. If vision screening can not be done, your doctor may proceed recommending SABRIL, but will certainly not have the ability to watch for any type of vision loss. If vision tests are not done on a regular basis, your doctor may stop prescribing SABRIL for you (or your kid).
