Valprol-CR 500 Tablets are a controlled-release formulation containing Sodium Valproate and Valproic Acid, used primarily to treat epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and migraine prophylaxis. This combination works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain and balancing neurotransmitters, effectively managing seizures, mood swings, and headache episodes. The controlled-release feature ensures a steady release of medication, reducing dosage frequency and enhancing treatment consistency.

• Controls a wide range of seizures in epilepsy

• Stabilizes mood in bipolar disorder

• Prevents migraine attacks

• Controlled-release formula ensures steady blood levels and improved compliance

• Suitable for long-term use under medical supervision

Take Valprol-CR 500 Tablets once or twice daily, as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water — do not crush or chew it, as this may interfere with the controlled-release mechanism. It can be taken with or after food to minimize stomach discomfort. Follow your doctor's schedule precisely for optimal results.
