Sodium Valproate Enteric Coated Tablets IP 200mg Uses

Sodium Valproate is a widely used medicine for the management of epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It helps control seizures in conditions like generalized tonic-clonic seizures, absence seizures, and myoclonic seizures. It is also used to prevent migraine headaches and stabilize mood in bipolar disorder.

How Sodium Valproate works

Sodium Valproate works by increasing the levels of a calming chemical (gamma-aminobutyric acid, GABA) in the brain. GABA reduces abnormal electrical activity in the brain, thereby preventing seizures and stabilizing mood. The enteric coating helps protect the stomach and ensures the medicine is released in the intestines for better absorption.

Common side effects of Sodium Valproate

Nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain
Drowsiness, dizziness, or headache
Tremor (shaking)
Weight gain
Hair loss (usually temporary)
Liver enzyme changes (requires monitoring)
