Sodium Valproate 400 mg (controlled release tablet)
Epilepsy/seizure disorders (generalized and focal seizures), prevention of migraine (as prescribed), bipolar disorder/mania (as prescribed)
Valproate increases levels of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in the brain and modulates neuronal ion channels. This stabilizes overactive nerve firing, helping prevent seizures and mood episodes.
Take orally exactly as prescribed, usually once or twice daily. Swallow the controlled-release tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew or break. Can be taken with food to reduce stomach upset; take at the same time each day.
