Epilim 200 mg is primarily used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It is indicated for preventing seizures, managing bipolar mood swings, and treating conditions where stabilization of brain activity is necessary.
Pharmacology:
Epilim 200 mg contains valproate, an anticonvulsant that works by increasing the level of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter that helps calm nerve activity, thus reducing seizure frequency and stabilizing mood in patients with bipolar disorder.
Dosage:
-
Adults: The typical starting dose for epilepsy is 10-15 mg/kg per day, which may be gradually increased.
-
Children: The dosage is typically based on the child's weight and is determined by the doctor.
-
Bipolar Disorder: Starting doses may range from 400-500 mg per day and can be adjusted based on patient response.

Epilim 200 mg should be taken orally with or after food to reduce stomach upset. It is usually taken in divided doses throughout the day.
