Generic Drug Vigabatrin Epilepsy Treatment

This med, Vigabatrin, is mainly used for super hard-to-treat seizures and something called infantile spasms. It does its thing by stopping something called the GABA transaminase from doing its job, which in turn makes more of this stuff called GABA. And GABA, that’s a chemical that’s like a brakes-for-your brain.

You can get Vigabatrin in two forms—either as a 500 mg pill or in a powdered packet. The advice for the dose every day is usually 1 to 3 grams of the stuff, split up over the day. Each pill has 500 mg in it, so if you need more medicine, you can take up to 6 tablets in one day, and that adds up to 3 grams.

It comes in a bottle with 100 of these tablets. Now, cause this drug has its side effects, it’s gotta be used careful.
