Gabitril contains the active ingredient tiagabine. It is a prescription antiepileptic medication used to help control certain types of seizures.
Gabitril is usually used together with other seizure medicines, rather than as the only treatment.
Gabitril is used as adjunctive therapy for partial seizures, also called focal seizures, in adults and in children 12 years of age and older.
Partial seizures begin in one area of the brain. Depending on where they start, they may cause symptoms such as unusual movements, changes in sensation, staring, confusion, or loss of awareness.
Gabitril helps reduce abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
When used with other antiepileptic medicines, it may help decrease the frequency and severity of partial seizures.
Gabitril is not generally considered a standard treatment for generalized seizure disorders.
Its established use is mainly for partial seizures as add-on therapy. If a person has generalized tonic-clonic seizures or another seizure type, the healthcare provider will decide whether tiagabine is appropriate based on the individual diagnosis and treatment plan.
Gabitril works mainly by affecting a brain chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA.
GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means it helps slow down excessive electrical activity in the brain.
Tiagabine blocks the reuptake of GABA into nerve cells and supporting brain cells.
This allows more GABA to remain available between nerve cells for a longer period.
By increasing the effects of GABA, Gabitril helps calm overactive nerve signaling.
This can make it harder for abnormal electrical activity to spread through the brain and may help reduce seizure activity.
Gabitril is commonly prescribed along with one or more other seizure medications.
Your healthcare provider may add it when seizures are not adequately controlled with the current treatment plan.
Gabitril can help control seizures, but it does not cure epilepsy or permanently remove the tendency to have seizures.
Regular treatment is important, even when seizures have been well controlled for a period of time.
Use Gabitril exactly as prescribed and do not suddenly stop taking it without medical advice.
Abruptly stopping an antiepileptic medication can increase the risk of seizures becoming more frequent or severe.
Gabitril is available in tablet form and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
The number of doses you take each day can vary depending on your treatment plan. Some people may start with a low dose once daily, while others may eventually take it several times a day as the dose is gradually adjusted.
Gabitril should generally be taken with food.
Taking it with a meal helps make the amount of medication absorbed by your body more consistent.
Swallow the tablet with a glass of water.
Take it exactly as directed and avoid changing how you use the medication unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
Try to take Gabitril at the same time or times each day.
Following a regular schedule helps keep a steady amount of medication in your body and makes missed doses less likely.
Gabitril is often started at a low dose and increased gradually.
Your healthcare provider will decide how quickly to increase the dose based on your seizure control, side effects, and other medications you are taking.
Some antiepileptic medications can change how quickly your body processes tiagabine.
Because of this, your Gabitril dose may depend partly on the other seizure medicines you use. Do not compare your dose with someone else’s or change it on your own.
If you forget a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose.
If the next dose is close, skip the missed dose and return to your regular schedule.
Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for the missed dose.
Do not take more Gabitril or take it more frequently than prescribed.
Your healthcare provider may need to adjust the dose gradually to reduce the risk of side effects and maintain seizure control.
Do not suddenly stop taking Gabitril unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
Abruptly stopping an antiepileptic medicine may cause seizures to become more frequent or severe.
If Gabitril needs to be discontinued, your healthcare provider will usually give you instructions for reducing the dose safely.
Take Gabitril regularly even if you have not had a seizure recently.
Good seizure control does not necessarily mean the medication is no longer needed.
Contact your healthcare provider if your seizures become more frequent, change in pattern, or become more severe.
You should also report significant dizziness, unusual sleepiness, confusion, difficulty concentrating, or other concerning symptoms.
For the best results, take Gabitril with food, follow your prescribed dosing schedule, and avoid missing doses.
Do not change the dose or stop treatment without speaking with your healthcare provider.
Gabitril (Tiagabine) is available in the following forms and strength:
Gabitril may cause drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, or difficulty concentrating, especially when treatment is first started or the dose is increased.
Avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires full alertness until you know how the medication affects you.
Gabitril can interact with other medicines, including some seizure medications that may change how quickly tiagabine is removed from the body.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and herbal supplements you use.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before using Gabitril.
Your provider will weigh the benefits of seizure control against any potential risks and decide whether Gabitril is appropriate for you.
Gabitril should not be stopped abruptly unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
Suddenly stopping an antiepileptic medication can increase the risk of more frequent or severe seizures.
If Gabitril needs to be discontinued, your healthcare provider may gradually reduce the dose.
Gabitril is not known for causing classic withdrawal in the same way as some habit-forming medicines.
The main concern with suddenly stopping it is loss of seizure control or worsening seizures, which is why dose reduction should be supervised by a healthcare professional.
Gabitril is not generally considered addictive or habit-forming, and it has a low potential for abuse.
However, it should still be taken only as prescribed. Do not take larger doses or use it more often than directed by your healthcare provider.
No. Gabitril is not classified as a controlled substance. It is an antiepileptic medication used to help control certain types of seizures.
Weight loss can occur in some people taking Gabitril, but it is not one of the most common side effects. If you notice significant or unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, or other changes in your health, talk to your healthcare provider.
Alcohol can increase side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, poor coordination, and difficulty concentrating. Because Gabitril can already affect alertness and coordination, it is best to ask your healthcare provider whether alcohol is safe for you while taking this medication.
If you take more Gabitril than prescribed, contact a healthcare professional or poison control right away. An overdose may cause symptoms such as severe drowsiness, confusion, weakness, agitation, tremors, seizures, or breathing problems. Seek emergency medical attention if you develop severe symptoms, lose consciousness, have difficulty breathing, or experience a seizure.
