Prior to starting SABRIL, tell your doctor concerning every one of your (or your child's) medical conditions including anxiety, mood issues, suicidal thoughts Bookmarks or actions, any type of allergic reaction to SABRIL, vision troubles, kidney troubles, reduced red blood cell counts (anemia), and any nervous or psychological health problem.

SABRIL (vigabatrin) is a prescription medication used with various other treatments in children and grownups 2 years old and older with refractory complex partial seizures (CPS) who have not responded all right to a number of other treatments and if the possible benefits exceed the risk of vision loss.

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

If you are pregnant or plan to get expecting, tell your health care service provider. If vision screening can not be done, your doctor may proceed prescribing SABRIL, however will not be able to watch for any kind of vision loss. If vision examinations are refrained from doing consistently, your doctor may stop recommending SABRIL for you (or your child).
