Tell your doctor today if you (or your child): might not be viewing as well as before beginning SABRIL; start to trip, encounter things, or are much more clumsy than normal Bookmarks; are surprised by things or people being available in front of you that seem to find out of no place; or if your infant is acting in a different way than regular.

SABRIL (vigabatrin) is a prescription medication utilized with various other treatments in kids and grownups 2 years old and older with refractory complicated partial seizures (CPS) that have not reacted well enough to a number of various other therapies and if the possible advantages exceed the threat of vision loss.

One of the most common adverse effects of SABRIL in children 3 to 16 years is weight gain. With severe vision loss, you might just be able to see things straight before you (in some cases called tunnel vision"). You are at risk for vision loss with any amount of SABRIL.

Tell your healthcare provider if you are expecting or mean to get pregnant. If vision screening can not be done, your healthcare provider might proceed suggesting SABRIL, but will not have the ability to look for any type of vision loss. Your healthcare service provider might stop suggesting SABRIL for you (or your kid)if vision examinations are not done consistently.
