Hi Sabril is perfectly safe to be given if the patient is not showing any reaction. It contains Vigabatrin which is one of the potent drugs for Infantile spasms.
Usual dose is 50mg/kg/day in two divided doses, and then a titration of 25-50mg/kg/day every 3 days. Still the doctor examining the patient can have a different opinion depending on their experience.
Hope to have informed you sufficiently.
Thanks
