Epival Syrup 200 ml

Product introduction
Epival Oral Solution is an antiepileptic medicine used to control and prevent seizures in patients with epilepsy. It helps stabilize the electrical activity in the brain, preventing sudden mood swings and abnormal brain signals that trigger fits. It may also be used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, migraine prevention, and mania.

Epival Oral Solution can be taken alone or with other medicines as prescribed by your doctor. The dose is gradually adjusted until your condition is under control. It should be taken regularly, preferably with food, to reduce stomach discomfort. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it may worsen seizures or cause withdrawal symptoms.

Common side effects include hair loss, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, headache, tremors, or changes in appetite. Most of these effects are mild and temporary. Inform your doctor if they persist or cause discomfort. Long-term use may lead to weakened bones (osteoporosis), so regular health check-ups are recommended.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor about any liver or kidney problems, depression, or suicidal thoughts. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should take this medicine only if clearly prescribed, as it may affect the baby. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel dizzy or sleepy after taking it.
