Management Of Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Avelap 500 MG Tablet Sr 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Dizziness and drowsiness: Consider taking this medicine at bedtime if it causes you these symptoms during the day.

Avelap 500 MG Tablet Sr 10 contains divalproex (500 mg). Here's how it works:

Increases GABA levels: Divalproex works by promoting the concentration of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter, in your brain. Now, a neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger that transmits signals in the brain. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, meaning it reduces the activity of nerve cells in the brain.
Stabilises electrical activity: By increasing GABA levels, Divalproex helps to stabilise the electrical activity in your brain. This control over the electrical activity is what helps to manage seizures and regulate mood.

Pregnancy

Avelap 500 MG Tablet Sr 10 is contraindicated during pregnancy as it may harm the developing fetus.
