Valprol Cr 200 Tablet 15

Valprol-CR-200 Tablet is used to treat epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and prevent migraine attacks. It contains sodium valproate and valproic acid in a controlled-release form, which helps stabilize abnormal electrical activity in the brain. By regulating neurotransmitter levels, this medicine helps reduce the frequency of seizures, control mood swings, and prevent recurrent migraine episodes.

Use Valprol-CR-200 Tablet by following these steps:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet as it's designed for controlled release to maintain steady blood levels.

• Consult your doctor if there's any need to adjust your dosage. It's important not to stop taking this medicine without discussing it with your doctor first.

Valprol-CR-200 Tablet is taken orally.

Valprol-CR-200 Tablet contains sodium valproate/valproic acid (200 mg), which works in the body as follows:

• Enhances GABA Effects: Sodium valproate/valproic acid increases the levels of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in your brain. GABA helps in reducing excessive neuronal activity, which can lead to seizures and mood instability.

• Blocks Sodium and Calcium Channels: Valproic acid also inhibits the activity of voltage-gated sodium channels and T-type calcium channels in your brain, contributing further to its antiepileptic properties.

• Inhibits the HDAC Enzyme: Additionally, it suppresses the enzyme histone deacetylase (HDAC), which may have a role in stabilising the mood. This mechanism could explain its effectiveness in managing bipolar disorder.

• Store Valprol-CR-200 Tablet at room temperature, between 15-30°C.

• Keep it in a tightly closed, light-resistant container to protect it from bright light.

• Avoid storing this medicine in damp areas like bathrooms or near kitchen sinks.

• Always keep out of the reach of children.

• Ensure that you use this medicine before its expiry date.

• Since Valprol-CR-200 Tablet is used to manage epilepsy and bipolar disorder, adopting a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains can promote overall brain health.

• Regular physical activity is beneficial for mental well-being. However, individuals with epilepsy should engage in safe exercises and avoid high-risk activities that could trigger a seizure. Always consult your doctor for personalised advice.
