About Valeptol Solution

Valeptol Solution belongs to a group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits. In addition, Valeptol Solution 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.

Valeptol Solution contains Valproic acid, which reduces the brain's excessive and aberrant nerve activity. As a result, it aids in the control of seizures. Valeptol Solution 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. Valeptol Solution limits the transmission of nerve pain, thereby preventing migraine headaches.

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