So, Vigabatrin is this med that helps with really tough epilepsy and those spasm things in babies. It falls into a category called GABA transaminase inhibitor. That’s just a fancy way of saying it stops an enzyme that gets rid of GABA.
GABA is like this really important calming chemical in your brain. So, by boosting up GABA, Vigabatrin kind of quiets things down in there and helps cut down on those seizures. You can get this stuff in two types: 500 mg pill form or as a powder in little baggies.
Doctors usually suggest taking 1 to 3 grams per day, spread out over the day. You’re supposed to take Vigabatrin with your meals to avoid an upset tummy. You gotta listen to your doc about the dose and not take too much, okay? It comes in bottles with 100 tabs each, which is nice ’cause it’s easy to stick with when you’re on it for a long haul.
