Medication Guide

We know a lot about epilepsy and refractory complex partial seizures (CPS).

We are committed to helping patients with refractory complex partial seizures (CPS), a type of seizure that can have several different symptoms, such as a lapse in consciousness, disorientation, confusion or involuntary movements. Sometimes a person’s complex partial seizures cannot be controlled even after he or she has tried several medicines. When this happens, they are called refractory.

VIGADRONE® is a prescription medicine used along with other treatments in adults and children 2 years and older to help reduce the number of refractory CPS if you and your healthcare provider decide the possible benefit of taking VIGADRONE® is more important than the risk of vision loss. VIGADRONE® should not be the first medicine used to treat CPS.

We’re not alone.

For many years, there has been an ongoing, concerted effort to find better treatment and hopefully even a cure for epilepsy. We’re not there yet, but we’re not giving up.

For some people, the cause of refractory CPS may be unknown, or it may be linked to different conditions such as tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Vigadrone is not approved for the treatment of TSC.

VIGABATRIN REMS PROGRAM

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a single shared system Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) for all vigabatrin products called the Vigabatrin REMS Program. It is required by the FDA to ensure informed risk-benefit decisions before initiating treatment and to ensure appropriate use of vigabatrin while patients are treated.

Visit the Vigabatrin REMS website for instructions and the FDA-mandated REMS forms.
