About Encorate Syrup

Encorate Syrup is used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits. Additionally, Encorate Syrup is also used to treat bipolar disorder. Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain.

Encorate Syrup contains 'Sodium valproate', which decreases the excessive and abnormal nerve activity in the brain. This helps in controlling seizures.

Encorate Syrup may cause side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, tremors, tiredness, sleepiness, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist, inform your doctor immediately.

Before using Encorate Syrup , inform your doctor about your children's medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications used. Encorate Syrup should be gradually withdrawn; please do not discontinue Encorate Syrup without consulting your physician. Consult your doctor immediately if you observe any suicidal tendencies in your children.

Uses of Encorate Syrup

Encorate Syrup is used to effectively manage neurological and mood disorders. The detailed uses of Encorate Syrup are as follows:

  • Treats epilepsy: Encorate Syrup helps control and reduce the frequency of seizures (fits).
  • Manages bipolar disorder: Encorate Syrup stabilises mood swings and helps prevent episodes of mania and depression.

Health Queries

My baby has been taking Encorate syrup for 6 months. The pediatrician has now prescribed Calday P syrup. Is it safe to give both together?

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

It is generally safe to give Encorate syrup and Calday P syrup together if they have been prescribed by your paediatrician, as calcium supplements do not usually interfere with sodium valproate; in fact, calcium and vitamin D may be beneficial because long-term use of anti-seizure medicines like Encorate can sometimes affect bone health. Make sure you give both medicines in the correct dose and at the advised times, and continue regular follow-up with your doctor to monitor your baby's growth and response to treatment. If you notice any unusual symptoms such as excessive sleepiness, vomiting, poor feeding, or irritability, inform your doctor promptly.

Directions for Use

  • Encorate Syrup can be administered with or without food as directed by the doctor.

Key Benefits

When used as prescribed, Encorate Syrup may offer the following benefits

For Epilepsy:

  • Regulates a variety of seizure types, such as absence, focal, and generalised seizures.
  • Reduces the frequency and intensity of seizures by stabilising aberrant electrical activity in the brain.
  • Beneficial either alone or in conjunction with other antiepileptic medications.

For Bipolar disorder:

  • Stabilises mood, which aids in the management of acute manic episodes.
  • Reduce mood fluctuations and stop manic relapses.
  • Helpful for patients who don't react well to lithium.
  • Reduces impulsive behaviour, agitation, and irritation.

How Encorate Syrup Works

Encorate Syrup contains 'Sodium valproate' as active ingredient. • For seizures, it decreases the excessive and abnormal nerve activity in the brain. Thereby helps in controlling seizures. • For Bipolar disorder, it increases the amount of a chemical substance called GABA; this helps block the nerve transmission across the brain and provides a calming effect. Thereby helps treat bipolar disorder.
