About Vigabatrin Tablets

Vigabatrin tablets are indicated as adjunctive therapy for adults and pediatric patients 10 years of age and older with refractory complex partial seizures who have inadequately responded to several alternative treatments and for whom the potential benefits outweigh the risk of vision loss.  Vigabatrin tablets are not indicated as a first line agent for complex partial seizures.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: Permanent Vision Loss.  Vigabatrin can cause permanent bilateral concentric visual field constriction, including tunnel vision that can result in disability. In some cases, vigabatrin may also decrease visual acuity.  Risk increases with increasing dose and cumulative exposure, but there is no dose or exposure to vigabatrin known to be free of risk of vision loss.  Risk of new and worsening vision loss continues as long as vigabatrin is used, and possibly after discontinuing vigabatrin.  Vigabatrin tablets are available only through a restricted program called the Vigabatrin REMS Program.

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), including vigabatrin, increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking these drugs for any indication.  Other possible serious side effects include:  neurotoxicity, anemia, somnolence and fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, weight gain, and edema.  Abnormal MRI signal changes have been observed in some infants treated with vigabatrin for infantile spasms.  Pregnancy Category C:  Vigabatrin produced developmental toxicity, including teratogenic and neurohistopathological effects, when administered to pregnant animals at clinically relevant doses. 

As with all AEDs, vigabatrin should be withdrawn gradually.  The most common adverse reactions reported in controlled studies of adults with refractory complex partial seizures (incidence greater than or equal to 5% over placebo) were:  in addition to permanent vision loss, fatigue, somnolence, nystagmus, tremor, blurred vision, memory impairment, weight gain, arthralgia, abnormal coordination, and confusional state. 

The most common adverse reactions reported in controlled studies of pediatric patients (10 to 16 years of age) with refractory complex partial seizures (incidence greater than or equal to 5% over placebo) were:  weight gain, upper respiratory tract infection, tremor, fatigue, aggression, and diplopia.
