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