Valprid CR 300 15 Tab

Valprid CR 300 is a higher-strength controlled-release tablet from Micro Labs containing Sodium Valproate and Valproic Acid. It is an antiepileptic agent also used as a mood stabilizer.

• Long-term management of several seizure types
• Mood stabilization in bipolar disorder
• Migraine prophylaxis in some patients

Valproate boosts GABA, the brain's natural calming signal, and tames excessive nerve firing that can lead to seizures or mood swings. The CR formulation drip-feeds the medicine for smoother coverage.

Take it whole with water as prescribed by your doctor, ideally at a fixed time daily. Food can help reduce nausea. Do not split or crush the tablet.

• Stomach upset, nausea or appetite changes
• Sleepiness, mild tremor or dizziness
• Weight gain, hair shedding
• Uncommon but serious: liver, pancreas or blood issues — seek urgent help if you notice unusual bruising, jaundice or severe belly pain

Avoid in pregnancy unless your specialist confirms there is no alternative. Share your full medical history, especially liver disease, and list all medicines you take. Regular blood tests may be advised. Do not stop abruptly.

Store below 25 degrees C, away from moisture and sunlight, and out of reach of children.
