Valance OD 500 Tablet is used to control seizures in epilepsy, to stabilise mood in bipolar disorder and to prevent migraine headaches. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing divalproex sodium in a once-daily prolonged-release form, and belongs to a class of medicines called anti-epileptics.
This medicine helps reduce how often seizures occur and prevents intense mood swings or migraine attacks. Swallow the tablet whole without crushing or chewing it. Any reduction in the dose must be done gradually under medical guidance. Use the dose, frequency and duration prescribed by your doctor.
For epilepsy, a regular sleep pattern, avoiding alcohol and reducing stress where possible help support seizure control. For migraines, identifying and avoiding your personal triggers also helps alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any liver disease, bleeding problems or kidney problems before starting this medicine, and about all other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take. Regular liver function and blood count tests may be needed. This medicine can harm an unborn baby, so effective contraception is essential, and you should tell your doctor at once if you could be pregnant. Speak to your doctor before use if you are breastfeeding. Report any side effects that persist or become serious. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly or unless your doctor advises you to do so, as this can cause seizures or other symptoms to return.
