Validin 500mg Tablet CR

Validin 500mg Tablet CR helps stop epileptic seizures by decreasing too much electrical activity in your brain. It is also prescribed for certain mood disorders like bipolar disorder and for preventing migraine headaches.

Sodium Valproate belongs to the class of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) that work by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain. It increases the levels of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which helps in calming overactive nerve signals in the brain, reducing the occurrence of seizures, and preventing abnormal brain activity associated with certain mood disorders.

Do not suddenly stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, as it may lead to an increase in seizures or mood swings. Your doctor may need to gradually reduce the dosage before discontinuing the medication.

Patients prescribed it should adhere to their healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

It is crucial to report any persistent symptoms or adverse effects promptly.
