Encorate Chrono 400 Tablet contains Sodium Valproate / Valproic Acid (400 mg), which works in the following ways:

• Increases GABA levels: This medication increases the level of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in your brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, meaning it reduces the activity of nerve cells in the brain.

• Stabilises electrical activity: By increasing GABA levels, Encorate Chrono 400 Tablet helps calm and stabilise electrical activity in the brain. This action helps prevent or reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.

• Inhibits enzymes: The medicine may inhibit certain enzymes in your body that break down GABA, thereby increasing its level and enhancing its activity.

• Stimulates GABA synthesis: Sodium Valproate / Valproic Acid may stimulate the synthesis of GABA, increasing its levels and contributing to the overall calming effect on brain activity.

• Store Encorate Chrono 400 Tablet at a temperature not exceeding 30°C in an area protected from light and moisture.

• Keep the medicine in a secure place, out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date on the packaging before using the tablet.

• Regular physical activity: Regular exercise can help promote better overall health and well-being. Stress and poor health are known to be potential triggers of seizures, which could potentially reduce their frequency.

• Balanced diet: Consuming a balanced diet is crucial for those managing seizures. Certain vitamins, such as B6, are essential for producing brain chemicals that influence mood and other brain functions. A shortage of these can potentially trigger seizures.
