Background. Tiagabine is an anticonvulsant that blocks reuptake of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. There are no published studies or case series of tiagabine overdoses. Methods. The records of six poison centers and one statewide poison center network were searched for all exposures to tiagabine for the years 2000–2002. Inclusion criterion was a human tiagabine exposure with follow-up to a known outcome; exclusion criterion was multiple drug ingestion. Results. 57 cases met the inclusion…

Increase in Tiagabine Serum Concentration with Coadministration of Gemfibrozil
- MedicineThe Annals of pharmacotherapy

Significant increase in total and unbound tiagabine concentrations following a single 300-mg dose of gemfibrozil and reproduction of clinical symptoms with gem fibroZil rechallenge suggests the toxicity the patient experienced was due to a pharmacokinetic drug interaction.

The frequency of tiagabine cases in NPDS mirrored pharmaceutical sales, with steep declines temporally related to the 2005 FDA warning, and the HCF usage is likely due to high rate of symptomatic patients and the large proportion of suicide attempt cases.

It is speculated that, with the administration of the benzodiazapine induction agent and especially the subsequent propofol infusion initiated for sedation, these clinicians might have unknowingly treated CSE in this patient and advocate the use of propofolin for first-line treatment of CSE associated with tiagabine overdose.

The first case of convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) induced by TGB overdose is described, which is considered to be an effective anticonvulsant medication (AED) and appears to lack serious adverse reactions.

It is suggested that vigabatrin and tiagabine have differing efficacy in experimental seizure models and distinct neurochemical effects, and it is possible that these drugs will have different spectra of activity and toxicity profiles in human epilepsy.
