Valparin Oral Solution is used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits and bipolar disorder. 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. 

Valparin Oral Solution contains 'Sodium valproate', which decreases the brain's excessive and abnormal nerve activity. Thus, it helps in controlling seizures. Valparin Oral Solution increases the amount of a chemical substance called GABA; this helps block nerve transmission across the brain and provides a calming effect. Thus, it helps treat bipolar disorder. 

Use Valparin Oral Solution as prescribed by your doctor. Sometimes, it may cause certain 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. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.

Before using Valparin Oral Solution , inform your doctor about your children's medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications used. To treat your condition effectually, continue using Valparin Oral Solution for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Valparin Oral Solution should be gradually withdrawn, so please do not stop using Valparin Oral Solution without consulting your doctor. Consult your doctor immediately if you observe any suicidal tendencies in your children.

Sodium valproate reduces the brain's excessive and unusual nerve activity. On the other hand, it helps to raise the quantity of a chemical substance called GABA in the brain, which helps to stop nerve transmission and has a calming effect. Thus, it aids in the treatment of epilepsy, seizures, and fits, as well as bipolar disorder.

• A ketogenic diet (low in carbohydrates and high in fats) is recommended for children with epilepsy. This diet helps utilise fat instead of glucose for energy generation.
• Have a seizure response plan, and help those around you know what to do.
• Prepare your children's living area; small changes may reduce the risk of physical injury during a seizure.
• Understand what triggers seizures are and try reducing or avoiding them.
• Install an alarm or emergency device to get assistance during a seizure attack.
• Let your child rest well and sleep well.

Maintain all scheduled follow-up appointments with your healthcare practitioner.

Epilepsy: Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. It is a nervous system disorder that occurs due to disturbed nerve cell activity in the brain. In epilepsy, the brain's electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures. In patients with seizures, the typical brain electrical pattern is disrupted by sudden bursts of electrical impulses that affect an individual's consciousness, movements or sensations. Seizures are of two types: generalized and partial seizures. Generalized seizures affect the entire brain, whereas partial seizures affect only a part of the brain. Seizures can cause uncontrollable muscle twitches and spasms. Stronger seizures may cause people to become confused or unconscious. Possible causes include high fever, trauma, genetic disorder, brain injury or stroke.

Bipolar disorder: Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression or bipolar disease, is a mental health disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from manic highs to depressive lows.
