SABRIL (vigabatrin) is a prescription medication made use of with other treatments in children and grownups 2 years of age and older with refractory complex partial seizures (CPS) that have actually not responded well enough to several various other treatments and if the possible benefits exceed the threat of vision loss.
The most common side effect of SABRIL in kids 3 to 16 years is weight gain. With severe vision loss, you might only be able to see things right in front of you (occasionally called tunnel vision"). You are at threat for vision loss with any type of amount of SABRIL.
If you are expecting or intend to get expecting, tell your health care service provider. If vision screening can not be done, your doctor may continue suggesting SABRIL, but will certainly not be able to watch for any vision loss. Your healthcare company may quit prescribing SABRIL for you (or your child)if vision examinations are not done regularly.
