Generic Drs. Vigabatrin Epilepsy Treatment

Vigabatrin is a drug used for really tough epilepsy and these baby spasms. It does its thing by stopping this enzyme called GABA transaminase. This helps more of the GABA neurotransmitter to hang around, and GABA helps to cut down on seizures.

You can get Vigabatrin as either 500 mg pills or in a powder mix form. The usual dose for adults and kids is 1 to 3 grams, split up into a few doses over the day. You need to take these doses at the same times each day to keep the medication steady in your blood.

They usually have you take the medicine in smaller doses because it helps to prevent tummy trouble and keeps it working well. You’ll get these pills in bottles with 100 of them, and the powder can mix with food or something like juice, just like your doctor or nurse says.
