متن کاملThe use of lamotrigine, vigabatrin and gabapentin as add-on therapy in intractable epilepsy of childhood
PURPOSE Lamotrigine (LTG), vigabatrin (VGB) and gabapentin (GBP) are three anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) used in the treatment of children with epilepsy for which long-term retention rates are not currently well known. This study examines the efficacy, long-term survival and adverse event profile of these three agents used as add-on therapy in children with refractory epilepsy over a 10-year peri...

Vigabatrin (VIG) decreases the breakdown of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid, whereas lamotrigine (LTG) reduces presynaptic excitatory amino acid release. 22 patients with refractory epilepsy, treated with an anticonvulsant regimen containing VIG, entered a balanced, double blind, plac...
متن کاملA cost minimization study comparing vigabatrin, lamotrigine and gabapentin for the treatment of intractable partial epilepsy

This retrospective casenote study in...
