Valporin CR Tablet 200 mg contains Sodium Valproate, a controlled-release formulation of a widely used anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing medication. It is designed for the management of epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and other seizure-related disorders. The controlled-release (CR) mechanism ensures gradual and steady release of the drug into the bloodstream, providing consistent therapeutic levels, reducing dosing frequency, and improving patient adherence.

Valporin CR helps prevent seizure recurrence, stabilizes mood in bipolar disorder, and supports long-term neurological and psychiatric health. The CR formulation is especially beneficial for adults and older children requiring long-acting therapy to maintain optimal control of symptoms.

Key Benefits

• Seizure Control: Reduces frequency and severity of generalized, partial, and absence seizures.

• Supports Long-Term Therapy: Safe for extended use under medical supervision.

Mechanism of Action

Sodium Valproate works by:

• Increasing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the brain, which calms overactive neurons.

• Stabilizing electrical activity in neurons to prevent abnormal firing, thereby controlling seizures.

• Modulating neurotransmitter activity to maintain mood stability in bipolar disorder.

The controlled-release system ensures prolonged therapeutic action and consistent plasma drug levels.
