Sabril Solution

Pronunciation: vye-GA-ba-trin
Generic Name: Vigabatrin
Brand Name: Sabril
Sabril Solution may cause permanent vision loss in a high percentage of patients. This effect may occur within weeks or sooner after starting treatment. It may also occur after months or years. The risk may increase with higher doses and prolonged use, but it may occur with any dose or length of use. Vision loss may continue to worsen after stopping Sabril Solution.

Vision loss may not be detected until it is severe. Parents or caregivers may not be able to recognize the symptoms of vision loss. Eye exams will be performed at the start of treatment and at least every 3 months during treatment. They will also be performed for 3 to 6 months after treatment stops. Some patients may develop severe vision loss even with monitoring.

Tell the doctor if the patient has or is at risk for developing another type of permanent vision loss. Tell the doctor if the patient uses other medicines that may cause serious vision problems (eg, retinopathy, glaucoma). Sabril Solution should not be used in these patients unless the benefit outweighs the risks.

Use the lowest dose of Sabril Solution for the shortest time needed. Sabril Solution should not be used for longer than 2 to 4 weeks if no improvement is seen in the patient's condition.
