ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Epilepsy is a common condition in people with learning disabilities with many patients continuing to suffer from seizures despite antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment."5.30A naturalistic study of the use of vigabatrin, lamotrigine and gabapentin in adults with learning disabilities. ( Bhaumik, S; Branford, D; Duggirala, C; Ismail, IA, 1997)
"Epilepsy is a common condition in people with learning disabilities with many patients continuing to suffer from seizures despite antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment."1.30A naturalistic study of the use of vigabatrin, lamotrigine and gabapentin in adults with learning disabilities. ( Bhaumik, S; Branford, D; Duggirala, C; Ismail, IA, 1997)
" In the test of physical dependence-producing potential with the drug-admixed food method in rats, vigabatrin and diazepam were given to rats mixed with food for 28 days in an increasing dosage schedule, followed by feeding a drug-free diet to observe withdrawal signs for 7 days."1.30Drug dependence study on vigabatrin in rhesus monkeys and rats. ( Takada, K; Yanagita, T, 1997)
"Vigabatrin proved to be a potent anticonvulsant drug at acute doses (100-200 mg/kg), but during chronic administration, the anticonvulsant activity of the treatment was lost already in the second week of treatment."1.28Development of tolerance to the anticonvulsant effect of vigabatrin in amygdala-kindled rats. ( Löscher, W; Rundfeldt, C, 1992)
