喜保宁(氨己烯酸片)是什么药？在哪里可以买到？

Vigabatrin can inhibit the enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter aminobutyric acid (GAB), increasing GAB levels. GAB can slow down central nervous system function and suppress epileptic seizures. It is the first drug approved specifically to treat infantile spasms, a rare form of epilepsy with side effects, and is used to fight epilepsy in special situations where other drugs are ineffective. It is a synthetic derivative of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which increases the concentration of the inhibitory meridian mediator GABA in the brain by irreversibly inhibiting GABA aminotransferase. It can increase the level of GABA in the human brain as the activity of GABA aminotransferase continues to decrease rapidly, and there is an obvious dose-effect relationship.

The recommended dose for adults is 3g per day, taken in divided doses. The dose should be increased according to the clinical effect at a rate of 0.5-1g per day to 4g per day (or 50mg/kg per day), which is effective for complex partial seizures of epilepsy (with or without generalized tonic-clonic seizures). General usage for children: For children aged 3-9 years, the recommended dose is 1g per day, divided into 2 times; for older children, 2g per day, divided into 2 times.

Where can I buy Vigabatrin? In China, Vigabatrin has not been approved for marketing, so it is not eligible to enter China's national medical insurance. This makes most patients unable to buy life-saving drugs even if they have money. Faced with such a situation, more patients will choose to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to purchase drugs overseas. However, the financial pressure of purchasing drugs like this is huge for the patients' families. However, according to Medical Companion Travel, the Vigabatrin version has been well received by many patients and is more suitable for long-term use by patients. The specification is 500mgx100 capsules and the price of a box is about $1,500. At present, the market exchange rate is not stable and often fluctuates up and down, which directly leads to price increases and decreases.
