About CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S

CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S belongs to a group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits. In addition, CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S also treats manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. Besides this, it can also prevent migraine symptoms (like a headache). Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. In epilepsy, the brain's electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures, sometimes leading to an unconscious state.

CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S contains Valproic acid, which reduces the brain's excessive and aberrant nerve activity. As a result, it aids in the control of seizures. CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S raises the concentration of a chemical molecule known as GABA, which helps to stop nerve communication across the brain and has a calming effect. This contributes to the treatment of bipolar disorder. CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S limits the transmission of nerve pain, thereby preventing migraine headaches.

CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. You may sometimes experience nausea, upset stomach or stomach pain, tremors (shakes), sleepiness, headache, weight gain and thinning hair. Most of these side effects are temporary and will go away on their own. However, if you suffer these adverse effects on a regular basis, you should consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any components present in CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S. If you are pregnant, do not take CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S because it may cause serious congenital defects. Use effective contraception if you are of childbearing age while taking CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S. If you are breastfeeding, inform your doctor before taking CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S. As CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S causes sleepiness and dizziness, do not drive or operate machinery. Avoid drinking alcohol with CHRONO 300MG TABLET 10S as it may cause dizziness and tiredness. To rule out any negative effects, keep your doctor updated about your health condition and medications.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Epilepsy: It is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. It is a nervous system disorder that occurs due to disturbed nerve cell activity in the brain. In epilepsy, the brain's electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures. In patients with seizures, the typical brain electrical pattern is disrupted by sudden electrical impulses that affect an individual's consciousness, movements, or sensations. Seizures are of two types: generalized and partial seizures. Generalized seizures affect the entire brain, whereas partial seizures affect only a part of the brain. Seizures can cause uncontrollable muscle cramps and spasms. More substantial seizures may cause people to become confused or unconscious. Possible causes include high fever, trauma, genetic disorder, brain injury, or stroke.

Bipolar disorder: Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression or bipolar disease, is a mental health disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from manic highs to depressive lows. Symptoms of manic episodes include high energy, loss of touch with reality, and reduced need for sleep. Symptoms of depressive episodes include low motivation, low energy, and loss of interest in daily life.

Migraine: Migraine is a neurological condition that is characterized by intense headaches. A migraine is usually a moderate or severe headache felt as a throbbing pain on one side of the head.
