Basic Information On Sabril
Sabril belongs to the class of antiepileptic drugs and is prescribed for infants and for treating partial seizures in adolescents who are at least 16 years of age. Its use in infants is specifically meant for a condition called infantile spasms or West’s syndrome. The condition is also referred by several other terms. The treatment of this relatively uncommon condition is done only after carefully evaluation and consideration of the age of the infant. The cause of this condition is not known but it is speculated that it could be due to breakdown of the neurotransmitter GABA in the brain. The Sabril drug works by reversing this breakdown.

Sabril Dosage
The recommended dosage of Sabril is 50 mg/kg/per day. The total daily dose can be given in two doses. If required, increments of 25 mg/kg/per day can be made once every 3 days. The total dose per day should not exceed 150 mg. The contents of the 500 mg packet should be dissolved in approximately 10 ml of cold water and then used. Since this drug is cleared by the kidneys, the efficiency of renal function also determines the dosage. It may not be prescribed if the infant has kidney problems either acquired or congenital. Young children and adults with renal impairment require dose adjustments. For mild impairment the dose needs to be reduced by 25%, for moderate it is 50% and for severe renal impaired it is 75 %.
