How It Works
Valprol Syrup contains Sodium Valproate, which is an antiepileptic agent. It works by stabilizing the electrical activity in the brain, reducing the abnormal brain signals that trigger seizures (fits) or mood swings associated with bipolar disorder. It also helps prevent migraines by influencing the regions of the brain involved in headache formation.
