Intractable complex partial seizures (CPS, also known as focal seizures), also known as temporal lobe seizures and psychomotor seizures, manifest partial seizures with varying degrees of consciousness impairment. Epileptic discharges originate from the medial temporal lobe or frontal lobe. The origin, diffusion route and speed are different, and the clinical manifestations can vary greatly. Special sensory or simple autonomic nervous system symptoms are often auras. Attacks originating from deep structures, such as psychotic attacks (auras), may be short-lived and cause confusion in consciousness quickly; disorders of consciousness may also begin immediately, or even simply cause disturbances in consciousness. It is a drug used to treat epilepsy and infantile spasms. On August 21, 2009, the US FDA approved Vigabatrin (vigabatrin tablets) as a monotherapy for pediatric patients 1 month to 2 years old. Its potential benefits of infantile spasms outweigh the potential risk of vision loss, and as an adjuvant treatment for adult patients with refractory complex partial epilepsy (CPS).

Sabrilex is administered orally. The maximum daily dose for adults is 2-3g. When starting to take Sabrilex, 1g per day is appropriate. Then, depending on the response after taking the medication, if the response is good, it can be increased by 0.5g per week, and finally reaches a dosage of 2-3g Sabrilex per day. The use of vigabatrin should be done under the guidance of an epilepsy expert or a child neurologist. Reactions after taking the medication should be reported to the doctor promptly.

What are the side effects of Vigabatrin (vigabatrin tablets)?

There are some common side effects of vigabatrin treatment, including: fatigue/drowsiness/dizziness/headache/confusion and depression. Occasional aggressive behavior and psychosis (more common in patients with a history of psychosis and behavioral problems)/double vision/memory loss/gastrointestinal disturbances/weight gain/edema and hair loss. Neurosis/nystagmus/irritability/ataxia/paresthesia/tremor may also occur. The toxic effects of vigabatrin on the retina may lead to peripheral visual field defects in children, so regular ophthalmological monitoring is required. Since each patient's physical condition is not exactly the same, the degree of side effects of using vigabatrin is not exactly the same. If serious side effects occur, please contact your doctor in time.
