Valparin 200 Alkalets Tablet contains sodium valproate (200 mg) and works on the body in the following ways:

• Increases GABA Levels: Sodium valproate increases the levels of a neurotransmitter called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that send signals between nerve cells. GABA has a calming effect on brain activity, which helps control seizures and stabilize mood.

• Reduces Overactivity: It reduces excessive firing and excitation of nerve cells in the brain, thereby helping to control seizures.

• Modulates Other Pathways: Sodium valproate also modulates other neurotransmitters and pathways involved in migraine pathogenesis, helping reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.

• Store the Valparin 200 Alkalets Tablet at room temperature, not exceeding 30 degrees Celsius.

• Choose a dry, cool spot that is not directly exposed to sunlight or heat.

• Keep the medicine securely closed in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and air.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• If you are taking Valparin 200 Alkalets Tablet for epilepsy or bipolar disorder, try to maintain a regular sleep pattern. Irregular sleep can potentially increase the frequency of seizures or cause mood swings.
