About Valprol Syrup
Valprol Syrup is used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits. Additionally, Valprol Syrup is also used to treat bipolar disorder and prevent symptoms of migraine (like a headache). Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. In epilepsy, the brain's electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures, sometimes leading to an unconscious state.
Valprol Syrup contains 'Sodium valproate', which decreases the excessive and abnormal nerve activity in the brain. Thereby helps in controlling seizures. Valprol Syrup 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.
You can take Valprol Syrup with or without food. You are advised to take Valprol Syrup as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, tremors, tiredness, sleepiness, headache, weight gain, and hair loss. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Please do not stop taking Valprol Syrup without consulting your doctor to avoid worsening of seizures. Contact your doctor if your child gets her first period whilst on treatment with Valprol Syrup . Do not take Valprol Syrup if you are pregnant, as it could cause serious congenital disabilities. If you are of childbearing age, use effective contraception while taking Valprol Syrup . Consult your doctor before taking Valprol Syrup if you are breastfeeding. Do not drive or operate machinery as Valprol Syrup may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Valprol Syrup as it could lead to increased dizziness and sleepiness.
