Viganext Powder For Solution 1's

Viganext Powder For Solution 1's belongs to a group of medications called anticonvulsants. Vigabatrin is used alone or with other medicines to treat refractory complex partial seizures in children two years of age and older and infantile spasms in children. Seizures are considered refractory when two or more AEDs (anti-epileptic drugs) have failed to control the seizures. Infantile spasms, sometimes called West syndrome, are a type of seizure that occurs in babies.

Viganext Powder For Solution 1's contains Vigabatrin. It increases the amount of the chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. Low levels of GABA cause some seizures. When Vigabatrin increases GABA, it reduces the likelihood of a seizure.

In some cases, Viganext Powder For Solution 1's may cause side effects such as blue-yellow colour blindness, blurred vision, decreased vision or other vision changes, eye pain, increased seizures and loss of memory or problems with memory. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you persistently notice any of these side effects in your children.

Refractory complex partial seizures: Seizures are considered refractory when two or more AEDs (anti-epileptic drugs) have failed to control the seizures. Seizures are bursts of electrical activity in the brain that temporarily affect how it works. They can cause a wide range of symptoms.

Infantile spasms: Infantile spasms, also known as West syndrome, are a form of seizures in infants. Spasms appear as a sudden stiffening of muscles, with the baby's arms, legs, or head bending forward. Seizures occur in a chain of brief spasms lasting one to two seconds.
