What is Sabril?

Sabril contains the prescription medicine vigabatrin, which is classed as an anticonvulsant. It works by reducing nerve impulses that cause seizures and pain. Sabril is used in combination with other medications to treat partial seizures in adults and children who are 10 years old and above. Sabril powder for oral solution is used to treat infantile spasms in babies and children between the ages of 1 month and 2 years.

This medicine should only be used by people if other medicines have been tried but were unable to control their seizures. Contact your doctor if your partial seizures do not improve after 3 months of treatment, or if your baby’s infantile spasms do not improve after 2 to 4 weeks of treatment. If your baby misses a dose, takes only part of a dose, or spits or vomits after taking this medicine, contact your doctor.

Sabril active ingredients

Exactly how vigabatrin works in the body is not fully understood. Studies do show however that vigabatrin does block the activity of a neurotransmitter called GABA, preventing it from breaking down in the brain. This action is thought to be important in calming the nerve activity in your brain, helping to prevent seizures.

You may take vigabatrin with or without food. Read and carefully follow any instructions provided with your medicine. Do not stop Sabril suddenly, as this may cause increased seizures. Follow your doctor’s instructions about reducing your dose. You are advised to wear or carry medical identification to let others know you are using Sabril.

This medicine can cause vision problems. An eye examination before starting treatment is needed, and then every 3 months during treatment, even if your vision seems normal. You must stay alert to changes in your eyesight when taking this medicine. If you stop taking vigabatrin, you should have another eye exam about 3 to 6 months after your last dose.

Sabril side effects

The most common side effects caused by Sabril include:

  • Drowsiness, tiredness, dizziness

  • Nausea, vomiting
