Valrate Syrup 100 ml

Valrate Syrup 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. 

Valrate Syrup contains 'Sodium valproate', which decreases the brain's excessive and abnormal nerve activity. Thus, it helps in controlling seizures. Valrate Syrup 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 Valrate Syrup 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 Valrate Syrup , inform your doctor about your children's medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications used. To treat your condition effectually, continue using Valrate Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Valrate Syrup should be gradually withdrawn, so please do not stop using Valrate Syrup without consulting your doctor.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.
