Does Valrate affect the working of birth control pills?
Yes, Valrate does not have any effect on the working of birth control pills. However, contraceptives (birth control pills) may interfere with the working of Valrate 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 Valrate levels in your blood levels.
I am concerned because I have heard that Napilex causes hair loss. Is it true?
Napilex 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 Napilex. Your hair may regrow after either reducing your dose or switching to a different medicine.
I have gained weight after I started using Valprid. Is it because of this medicine? What should I do?
Yes, weight gain can occur with the use of Valprid. To control your weight, you should have a healthy balanced diet and exercise regularly. Talk to your doctor if you have any other concerns.
What happens if I stop taking Valpin?
You should not stop taking Valpin 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.
For how long should I take Valpin to cure my epilepsy completely?
Valpin 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.
Is it safe to take Valpin for long term?
Many patients can safely take Valpin for a long time. Rarely, long-term use of Valpin may weaken your bones, thereby increasing their chances of breaking easily (osteoporosis and osteopenia). If you are taking Valpin for a long time, get regular check ups done for bone health.
