Valprol -CR 750 Tablet

Product Introduction

Valprol-CR 750 Tablet is prescribed for managing epilepsy, a condition where individuals experience recurring seizures or fits. It works by regulating unusual brain activity, calming nerve signals, and preventing seizures from occurring.

This medicine should always be taken with meals. The exact dosage will be determined by your doctor and may be gradually adjusted until the condition is under control. It might take a few weeks for the full effect to be noticeable, so taking it regularly is very important. Even if you start to feel better, do not stop taking the medication unless your doctor advises you to, as stopping suddenly can lead to more frequent seizures or worsening bipolar disorder symptoms.

Some common side effects that may occur include nausea and hand tremors. In certain cases, it may also cause vomiting, headache, liver-related issues, or pain in the upper abdomen. These effects are usually temporary, but if they persist or cause discomfort, inform your doctor immediately.

Before starting this medication, let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney concerns, a history of meningitis, depression, or suicidal thoughts. Also, share details of other medications you are taking, as this drug can interact with certain medicines, including contraceptive pills. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medicine only if clearly needed, and the dosage might be adjusted. Because it can cause dizziness or drowsiness, avoid driving, cycling, or operating heavy machinery if these symptoms occur. Routine blood tests may be required to track your body’s response to the treatment.

Alcohol consumption should be avoided while taking Valprol-CR 750 as it can increase certain side effects. This medicine may also cause weight gain, so following a healthy diet and exercising regularly is recommended. If you notice sudden changes in mood, worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts, seek medical attention right away.

Benefits of Valprol-CR 750 Tablet in Epilepsy
This medication slows down the overactive electrical signals in the brain that trigger seizures. It can also help reduce symptoms such as loss of awareness, fear, anxiety, confusion, or uncontrolled jerking movements. By controlling seizures, it allows individuals to take part in daily activities like driving or swimming with greater confidence. Since the dose is increased slowly, it may take some time before the medicine reaches its full effect. Do not discontinue the treatment suddenly, as this could trigger a seizure episode.
