氨己烯酸片用多久能停药？

Epilepsy is believed to be familiar to many people. The cause is relatively complex. Symptoms include disturbance of consciousness or loss of consciousness, sudden falling to the ground, twitching of limbs, looking up, and spitting at the mouth. Vigabatrin is an anti-epileptic drug. Vigabatrin is clinically used to treat epilepsy in which other anti-epileptic drugs are ineffective, especially partial seizures. It can also treat infantile spasms (West syndrome, West syndrome). Vigabatrin, a drug used to treat epilepsy and infantile spasms, was developed in the 1980s. The treatment was approved in the UK in 1989. On August 21, 2009, the U.S. FDA approved Vigabatrin, a vigabatrin tablet, for monotherapy in children aged 1 month to 2 years old. The potential benefits of infantile spasms outweigh the potential risk of vision loss, and as an adjuvant (additional) treatment (CPS) for adult patients with refractory complex partial epilepsy.

After purchasing Vigabatrin, patients must use it in the correct way. The maximum daily dosage for adults is 2-3g. It is appropriate to start with 1g a day. Then, depending on the response after taking the medication, if the response is good, 0.5g vigabatrin tablets Vigabatrin can be added every week, and finally the dosage is 2-3g per day. The recommended dose for children is 40 mg/kg/day. Continuous medication should be judged based on the patient's weight. The recommended dose for patients weighing 10-15 kg is 0.5-1g/day; the recommended dose for 15-30 kg is 1-1.5 g/day; the recommended dose for 30-50 kg is 1.5-3g/day; and >50 kg, the recommended dose is 2-3g/day. How long does it take to stop taking vigabatrin tablets?

Since each patient's condition and personal constitution are different, how long it takes for a patient to stop taking Vigabatrin treatment is different, which is determined by the patient's disease stage and personal constitution.

In terms of therapeutic effect, about 95% of children have a good response to vigabatrin tablets and vigabatrin in controlling Tsc epileptic seizures. Once a seizure is discovered, regardless of the form, vigabatrin is the first choice, and the effect is better when used for the first time. Especially for infantile spasms (peak arrhythmia on the electroencephalogram), vigabatrin tablets should be taken as soon as possible.

Vigabatrin can cause permanent vision loss in infants, children, and adults, including progressive and permanent bilateral concentric visual field constriction in >30% of patients, ranging in severity from mild to severe, including tunnel vision to visual acuity fixed within 10 degrees, and can lead to disability.
