How Valrate CR 200 works

Sodium valproate increases the inhibitory action of GABA in the brain and reduces abnormal neuronal firing. This helps stabilise electrical activity in the brain and prevents seizures/mood swings.

How to take Valrate CR 200

Oral controlled-release tablet: take exactly as prescribed, preferably at the same time each day, usually with food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole; do not crush or chew. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause deep unconsciousness, slowed breathing and dangerous heart rhythm disturbance. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
