Zoryve is a brand‑name formulation of vigabatrin, a GABA‑transaminase inhibitor used mainly in the treatment of certain seizure disorders (e.g., infantile spasms, refractory focal seizures).

Quick facts about vigabatrin (generic):

- Typical dosing: Usually started at 30–40 mg/kg/day, divided into multiple doses (exact regimen should be determined by a clinician).
