Solprate CR 500 Tablet

Solprate CR 500 Tablet
Product Introduction

Solprate CR 500 Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat epilepsy, a neurological disorder where patients experience recurrent seizures (fits). It works by controlling abnormal electrical activity in the brain, calming the nerves, and preventing seizures.

This medicine should be taken with food, in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. The dose is usually increased gradually until your condition is stable. It may take a few weeks to show full benefit, but it’s important to continue taking it regularly. Do not stop suddenly, even if you feel better, as this may worsen seizures or bipolar symptoms.
