Vigabatrin is used to treat hard-to-control epilepsy and a condition called infantile spasms. It works by stopping an enzyme that breaks down GABA, which in turn boosts GABA levels in your body. You can get it as 500 mg tablets or in powder form in little packets.
The usual dose is between 1 and 3 grams, spread out throughout the day. The medicine comes in bottles with 100 tablets in each. It stops an enzyme from breaking down GABA, making more GABA build up in the brain.
This helps with epilepsy and infantile spasms. You can just take the tablets with water and you don’t need to eat anything with them. For little ones, you mix the powder with a bit of water, juice, or formula.
You gotta stick to the doctor’s advice on how much to take and for how long, because everyone’s treatment is different. Some people might feel a bit sleepy, really tired, or have trouble with their balance. You should keep an eye out for any changes in how you act, see, or feel.
