Are Vigabatrin and Vigabatrin the same medicine? Vigabatrin and Vigabatrin are the same medicine. Vigabatrin tablets were approved by the US FDA in August 2009 and are suitable 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 can be used as an auxiliary (additional) treatment (CPS) for adult patients with refractory complex partial epilepsy. On January 16, 2019, the FDA approved the launch of a generic version of Vigabatrin.

The main component of vigabatrin tablets is vigabatrin (vigabatrin). Its mechanism of action is to irreversibly inhibit GABA aminotransferase (GABA-T) and increase the concentration of GABA in the brain. In the past two years, more and more children with TSC have effectively controlled epilepsy by using vigabatrin tablets and Vigabatrin. Western countries even use vigabatrin tablets and Vigabatrin to prevent brain abnormalities in children with TSC who have not yet developed the disease. It can be seen that the effect is quite significant.

Vigabatrin dosage and usage: Vigabatrin should be administered under the guidance of an epilepsy expert or child neurologist. Reactions after taking the medication should be reported to the doctor promptly.

Vigabatrin tablets are oral medicines that can be taken once or twice a day, before or after meals. It is advisable to drink half a glass of water when taking the medicine. If your epilepsy does not improve after taking it for a sufficient period of time, you should stop taking vigabatrin tablets. At this time, vigabatrin should be gradually stopped under the supervision of a doctor. Children younger than 6 years old are prone to choking when taking tablets, so please pay attention to this.

There are also 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. Vigabatrin's toxic effects on the retina may cause 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 tablets is not entirely the same. If serious side effects occur, please contact your doctor in time.

The above is the introduction about Vigabatrin, I hope it can help everyone.
