Gabitril

Gabitril (tiagabine) is an anticonvulsant used to treat partial seizures in patients with epilepsy. It is often used as an adjunctive therapy alongside other seizure medications. Gabitril works by inhibiting the reuptake of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter that reduces nerve activity in the brain, helping to control seizures.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Gabitril Work?

Gabitril works by blocking the reuptake of GABA, a neurotransmitter that reduces the excitability of neurons in the brain. By increasing the levels of GABA, Gabitril helps prevent the excessive electrical activity that leads to seizures.



Common Dosages

  • Tablets: 2 mg, 4 mg, 12 mg, 16 mg

7. Typical Dosing

  • The typical starting dose for Gabitril is 4 mg once daily, which may be increased by 4 to 8 mg per week until the desired effect is achieved. The maintenance dose ranges from 32 to 56 mg per day, divided into two to four doses.

FDA Approved Indications

  • Adjunctive therapy for partial seizures in patients with epilepsy aged 12 years and older.


Who Shouldn't Take Gabitril?

  • Known hypersensitivity to tiagabine or any of its components.

Advice From The Pharmacist
