About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Epilex 200mg Tablet contains Sodium Valproate 200mg, an anticonvulsant medication primarily indicated for the management of epilepsy and seizure disorders. It is effective in controlling various types of seizures, including generalized tonic-clonic, absence, and complex partial seizures. Sodium Valproate acts by increasing the availability of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, thereby stabilizing neuronal activity and preventing abnormal electrical discharges. Epilex is also utilized in the treatment of bipolar disorder to stabilize mood swings and prevent manic episodes. The tablet should be administered orally, with dosage tailored according to the patient’s clinical condition, age, and response to therapy. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, weight gain, tremors, and drowsiness. Serious adverse effects such as hepatotoxicity, pancreatitis, and thrombocytopenia, though rare, require immediate medical attention. Regular monitoring of liver function tests, complete blood count, and serum drug levels is recommended during prolonged therapy. Epilex is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to valproate, hepatic impairment, or urea cycle disorders. Caution is advised during pregnancy due to potential teratogenicity. This medication should be used under strict medical supervision to ensure safety and efficacy.
