Product Overview
Valprol-CR 500 Tablet is prescribed to manage epilepsy, a condition characterized by repeated seizures or fits due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. This medicine helps stabilize brain signals, calms nerve activity, and reduces the frequency of seizures.

It is recommended to take this medicine along with meals. The dosage will be decided by your doctor and may be increased gradually until your condition is well controlled. It may take a few weeks to show its full effect, so it’s important to continue using it regularly as advised. Do not stop taking the medication suddenly, even if you feel better, as this may lead to worsening seizures or other complications like mood disorders.

The most frequently reported side effects include nausea and trembling of hands or body. In some individuals, other effects like headache, vomiting, liver-related issues, or stomach pain may occur. These side effects are generally temporary, but if they persist or become bothersome, seek medical guidance.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any history of liver or kidney problems, depression, meningitis, or suicidal thoughts. It’s also important to share details about any other medicines you are taking, including birth control pills, as interactions can occur. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your doctor may still prescribe this medicine if the benefits outweigh the risks, but your dose may need adjustment. Avoid activities like driving or cycling if you experience dizziness or drowsiness. Regular blood tests may be necessary to monitor your progress and ensure safe usage.

Alcohol should be avoided as it may increase certain side effects. The medicine can also cause weight gain, so following a balanced diet and regular exercise is recommended. Notify your doctor immediately if you notice unusual mood changes, worsening depression, or thoughts of self-harm.
