Validin 500mg Tablet CR
(SODIUM VALPROATE)
I am concerned because I have heard that Validin causes hair loss. Is it true?
Validin may cause thinning of hair, change of hair colour and even hair loss. If you are concerned, talk to your doctor if it is possible to reduce the dose of Validin. Your hair may regrow after either reducing your dose or switching to a different medicine.
What happens if I stop taking Validin?
You should not stop taking Validin suddenly. It should be discontinued gradually. Stopping it suddenly may increase the chances of recurrence of seizures. Always consult your doctor if you feel the need to stop taking this medicine.
Does Validin affect the working of birth control pills?
Yes, Validin does not have any effect on the working of birth control pills. However, contraceptives (birth control pills) may interfere with the working of Validin and seizures may occur. It is important that you inform your doctor that you are using birth control pills. Your doctor will keep a track on your response to the treatment and monitor the Validin levels in your blood levels.
I have gained weight after I started using Validin. Is it because of this medicine? What should I do?
Yes, weight gain can occur with the use of Validin. To control your weight, you should have a healthy balanced diet and exercise regularly. Talk to your doctor if you have any other concerns.
For how long should I take Validin to cure my epilepsy completely?
Validin does not cure your condition, it only prevents the seizures from occurring. Therefore, you will have to keep on taking it, maybe for years. Consult your doctor if you face any problems while taking this medicine.
