✅ Description:

Sodium Valproate+Valproic Acid belongs to the group of mood stabilizers and antiepileptic drugs.

Uses:

  • Bipolar Disorder: Manages mania characterized by excessive excitement, enthusiasm, over-activity, and irritability.
  • Seizures: Effective in controlling complex partial seizures in adults and children aged 10 years and older, as well as simple and complex absence seizures.

✔️ How does Valex CR 300 work?

Valex CR 300 is a combination of two antiepileptic medications: Sodium Valproate and Valproic Acid. Each enteric-coated controlled-release tablet contains:

  • Sodium Valproate: 199.8 mg
  • Valproic Acid: 87 mg

These two components work synergistically to manage seizures or fit by reducing abnormal and excessive activity in the brain's nerve cells. By stabilizing the electrical activity in the brain, they help control various types of seizures.

✔️ Side Effects of Valex CR 300

Common side effects include anorexia, nausea, and vomiting, which are minimized with enteric-coated tablets. Central nervous system effects include sedation, ataxia, and tremor, typically resolving with dose reduction. Occasionally, rash, alopecia, and increased appetite are observed. Liver enzyme elevations are common and usually asymptomatic, but rare cases of fatal fulminant hepatitis can occur. Hepatic injury, acute pancreatitis, and hyperammonemia are also associated risks, particularly in young children with other medical conditions or multiple antiepileptic treatments.

  • Take Valex CR 300mg Tablet at the same time every day to maintain consistent drug levels in your body.

  • Epilepsy:
    • Adults: Start with 600 mg daily in two divided doses, increasing by 200 mg/day every three days up to 2.5 g daily until seizures are controlled. The maintenance dose is usually 1-2 g daily (20-30 mg/kg daily).
