Valprol-CR 200 Tablet

Manufacturer: Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd

This combination provides a controlled-release (CR) formulation, offering steady therapeutic levels throughout the day, minimizing dosing frequency, and reducing side effects.

✅ Primary Uses

Valprol-CR 200 is prescribed for:

• Epilepsy: To control various seizure types (generalized, partial, absence, myoclonic).

• Bipolar Disorder: As a mood stabilizer, particularly for manic episodes.

• Migraine Prophylaxis: To prevent recurrent migraine attacks (not for immediate relief).

⚠️ Important Precautions

• Monitor liver function and blood counts regularly.

• Use with caution in:

  • Liver disease

🩺 Dosage
