Tiagabine Schachter SCEpilepsia 1999[]; 40 Suppl 5 (ä): S17-22Tiagabine (TGB) is a recently approved antiepileptic drug (AED) that inhibits y-aminobutyric acid (GABA) reuptake into neurons and glia, a mechanism of action that is specific and unique among the AEDs. TGB is potent and has linear and predictable pharmacokinetics. It has no clinically relevant effects on hepatic metabolism or serum concentrations of other AEDs, effects on laboratory values, or interactions with common non-AEDs. TGB is effective as add-on therapy for partial seizures in patients with medically refractory epilepsy in doses ranging from 30 to 56 mg daily. Conversion to TGB monotherapy can be achieved in patients with medically refractory epilepsy, although additional controlled studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of TGB as monotherapy and to establish the effective dosage range. In controlled studies, the most common adverse events of TGB are dizziness, asthenia, somnolence, accidental injury, infection, headache, nausea, and nervousness. These are usually mild to moderate in severity and almost always resolve without medical intervention.|Anticonvulsants/pharmacokinetics/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Brain Chemistry/drug effects[MESH]|Brain/metabolism[MESH]|Clinical Trials as Topic[MESH]|Drug Administration Schedule[MESH]|Drug Therapy, Combination[MESH]|Epilepsies, Partial/drug therapy[MESH]|Epilepsy/*drug therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Nipecotic Acids/pharmacokinetics/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Tiagabine[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH]|gamma-Aminobutyric Acid/metabolism[MESH] |
