Tpvalpro Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Sodium valproate and Valproic acid. Tpvalpro Tablet is used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits, mood disorders and to prevent migraine headaches. Tpvalpro Tablet decreases the excessive and abnormal nerve activity in the brain, thereby controlling seizures. Tpvalpro Tablet is used to treat certain forms of epilepsy such as petit mal epilepsy (short-term unconsciousness due to disorder in the brain), myoclonic seizures (sudden muscle contractions) and grand mal epilepsy (severe muscle contractions which lead to unconsciousness). Tpvalpro Tablet may also be used to treat epilepsy which does not sufficiently respond to other anticonvulsant drugs, such as epilepsy which is not associated with movements and epilepsy with symptoms affecting perception and deliberate movements. Tpvalpro Tablet is used to treat both partial seizures (affects only a part of the brain) and generalised seizures (affects the entire brain).
