喜保宁导致的不良反应怎么治疗？

Introduction: Vigabatrin is an anticonvulsant drug that increases the levels of a chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. Some seizures are caused by low levels of GABA, and when Vigabatrin increases GABA it reduces the likelihood of seizures. Vigabatrin is used alone or with other drugs for the treatment of refractory complex partial epilepsy in adults and children over 2 years of age and infantile spasms in children, in patients who have been treated with other drugs without success.
