Historical source

Original GlobalRPh source

Product / population
Preserved GlobalRPh source, not a freshly verified product label
Renal measure
Use the method specified in the original source

Historical source: not automatically current. Review current official labeling and separately attributed additions before use.

Indication and usual adult dosing

Original SABRIL indication: adjunctive refractory complex partial seizures after inadequate response to several alternatives, when benefit outweighs vision-loss risk; not first-line treatment.

500 mg tablets orally twice daily with or without food. Start 500 mg twice daily (1 g/day); increase total daily dose by 500 mg weekly according to response. Recommended adult dose 1.5 g twice daily (3 g/day). Six g/day had no additional benefit and more adverse events.

Withdraw gradually. The source adult trials tapered the total daily dose by 1 g at weekly intervals until discontinuation.

Renal Dosing

Primarily renal elimination. Original CrCl bands: above 50-80 mL/min, reduce dose 25%; above 30-50, reduce 50%; above 10 to under 30, reduce 75%. The wording leaves exactly 30 unassigned.

Cockcroft-Gault estimate: (140 - age) x weight in kg / (72 x serum creatinine in mg/dL), multiplied by 0.85 for females.

Hemodialysis

Effect of dialysis on clearance was not adequately studied.

No patient-specific dose is calculated. Context choices only display reminders; they do not validate, hide or change any regimen.

Share a reproducible source review

Choose sources below, then open a print-ready comparison with product scope, renal method, dates and cautions. Links can pin the exact local cards; they never contain patient values or choose a dose.

Build a source-review outline for documentation

This creates a blank decision outline with the source identities you select, not a dose recommendation or completed clinical assessment. No patient fields are collected, saved or sent. Complete the clinical decisions in your approved documentation system.

Renal-context checklist: population, kidney trend and dialysis

These prompts are a reading aid, not a prescription checklist or proof that all requirements have been met. No selections are stored or sent to a server.

Read the exact source scope, renal metric and date before selecting a row. No applicability assessment has been performed.

Renal dosing and precautions

Choose a source, then jump to its renal or dialysis section. These links locate stored text; they do not merge regimens or certify that sources agree.

No dialysis or renal heading shown? Read the complete source summary. Absence of a heading is not evidence that dose adjustment is unnecessary.

Import versus clinical validation
Source-section locators identify where retained content came from. A source-section identifier does not assert that every numeric statement has been independently corroborated. The local text hash is not a hash of original HTML, an FDA PDF or SPL XML.

The original individual GlobalRPh pages commonly cite NIH/NLM DailyMed and instruct readers to review the applicable package insert for updates. That historical reference is preserved as context; it is not counted as an independently retrieved current label.
