Product Description
Valprol-CR 500 Tablet is a combination of two medications used to treat epilepsy, a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures or fits. This medication helps control abnormal brain activity, relaxes the nerves, and prevents seizures or fits from occurring.

It is recommended to take Valprol-CR 500 Tablet with food. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose for you, which may be gradually increased until your condition stabilizes. It may take several weeks for the medicine to show its full effect, so it’s important to continue taking it regularly to experience the benefits. Do not stop taking the medicine, even if you feel better, unless directed by your doctor, as this could lead to more seizures or a worsening of your bipolar disorder.
The most common side effects of Valprol-CR 500 Tablet include nausea and tremors.

Some individuals may also experience other side effects such as vomiting, headache, liver damage, or upper abdominal pain. Most of these side effects are temporary, but if they persist or become bothersome, inform your doctor. There may be ways to minimize or prevent these effects.
Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver issues, meningitis, or a history of depression or suicidal thoughts. You should also disclose any other medications you are taking, including contraceptive pills, as they may interact with Valprol-CR 500 Tablet.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, this medication can be used if absolutely necessary, but the dosage may need to be adjusted. Additionally, if this medication makes you feel drowsy or dizzy, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery. You may also need frequent blood tests to monitor your response to the medication.

It is advised to avoid alcohol while taking Valprol-CR 500 Tablet, as it can worsen certain side effects. The medication may also lead to weight gain, so it’s important to maintain a healthy, balanced diet, avoid high-calorie snacks, and exercise regularly. If you notice any significant changes in mood, behavior, or experience new or worsening depression or suicidal thoughts, notify your doctor immediately.
