About Valance 500 Oral Solution
Valance 500 Oral Solution is used to treat epilepsy, seizures or fits. Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. In epilepsy, the brain's electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures.
Valance 500 Oral Solution contains 'Divalproex sodium', which decreases the brain's excessive and abnormal nerve activity, thereby helping to control seizures.
In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as abdominal pain, back pain, constipation, diarrhoea, dizziness, nausea, increased appetite, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Inform your doctor about your health, allergies, and medicines to avoid side effects. Do not take Valance 500 Oral Solution if you are pregnant, as it could cause severe birth defects.
