WHAT TROBALT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Trobalt contains the active substance retigabine. Trobalt is one of a
group of medicines called
_antiepileptics_
. It works by preventing the brain overactivity that causes epileptic
seizures (also called
fits).
Trobalt is used to treat seizures that affect one part of the brain
(partial seizure), which may or may not
extend to larger areas on both sides of the brain (secondary
generalisation). It is used together with
other anti-epileptic medicines to treat adults who continue to
experience seizures and where other
combinations of antiepileptic medicines have not worked well.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Trobalt is indicated as adjunctive treatment of drug-resistant partial
onset seizures with or without
secondary generalization in patients aged 18 years or older with
epilepsy, where other appropriate
combinations with other medicinal products have proved inadequate or
have not been tolerated.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Trobalt must be titrated, according to individual patient response, in
order to optimise the balance
between efficacy and tolerability.
The maximum total daily starting dose is 300 mg (100 mg three times
daily). Thereafter, the total daily
dose is increased by a maximum of 150 mg every week, according to the
individual patient response
and tolerability. An effective maintenance dose is expected to be
between 600 mg/day and
1,200 mg/day.
The maximum total maintenance dose is 1,200 mg/day. The safety and
efficacy of doses higher than
1,200 mg/day have not been established.
If patients miss one dose or more, it is recommended that they take a
single dose as soon as they
remember.
After taking a missed dose, at least 3 hours should be allowed before
the next dose and then the
normal dosing schedule should be resumed.
When withdrawing Trobalt, the dose must be gradually reduced over a
period of at least 3 weeks (see
section 4.4).
_Elderly (65 years of age and above) _
There are only limited data on the safety and efficacy of retigabine
in patients aged 65 years and
above. A reduction in the initial and maintenance dose of Trobalt is
recommended in elderly patients.
