    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To verify tolerance and clinical efficacy of vigabatrin (VGB), a new antiepileptic drug, in an add-on therapy with carbamazepine (CBZ). PATIENTS AND METHODS: From september 1993 to december 1996, 35 patients with partial complex seizures (CPC) and CPC plus secondary generalization were treated, with VGB plus CBZ, VGB dose was 1.41 +/- 0.26 (g/die +/- SD) and CBZ 2.28 +/- 0.60 (g/die +/- SD). RESULTS: Patients were followed-up every 4 months showing an improvement between 61.5% and 68.8% from baseline. CONCLUSIONS: In all patients we observed an improvement during the follow-up period. Side effects were mild and well tolerated.
