VALEX CR 500 MG is a higher-strength, controlled release formulation that combines Sodium Valproate and Valproic Acid, designed for the effective management of epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and migraine prophylaxis. This medication works by enhancing the level of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, a neurotransmitter that helps calm nerve activity, thereby preventing seizures and stabilizing mood. The controlled release (CR) mechanism allows for gradual absorption of the drug, promoting steady blood levels over an extended period and reducing the frequency of administration, typically to twice daily or as prescribed. It is especially useful in treating complex seizure disorders such as generalized tonic-clonic, absence, and myoclonic seizures. Regular dosage and monitoring by a healthcare professional are essential to ensure optimal therapeutic effects and to minimize potential side effects.
