Epilim Chrono

Epilim Chrono contains the active ingredient sodium valproate, a powerful anti-convulsant or anti-epileptic agent. It has been specifically formulated to treat epilepsy in both adults and children by promoting a calmer brain activity and reducing the frequency and severity of seizures.

Indications

Epilim Chrono is indicated for:

Treatment of epilepsy in both adults and children, helping in the management of both general and partial seizures.
It can also be prescribed for other conditions where calming the brain is beneficial, but its primary use is in managing epilepsy.

Side Effects

While Epilim Chrono is effective, like all medications, it may have potential side effects. Not everyone will experience these side effects, but it's essential to be aware of them:

Stomach upset, including nausea and vomiting.
Increased appetite and weight gain.
Tremors or uncontrolled shaking.
Hair loss or thinning.
Drowsiness or dizziness.
Changes in liver function.
Rarely, mood changes or behavioral disturbances.

If any of these side effects become severe or if you notice any other side effects not listed here, please consult your doctor immediately.

Contraindications

Epilim Chrono should not be used in the following situations:

Patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to sodium valproate or any of the components of the medication.
Liver disorders or significant liver disease.
Pancreatic disease.
Mitochondrial disorders.
During pregnancy, unless clearly necessary and under strict medical supervision, due to potential risks to the developing fetus.

Dosage

The dosage of Epilim Chrono varies based on the patient's age, condition severity, other underlying health conditions, and how they react to the first dose. Always follow the prescribing doctor's advice regarding the correct dosage. Generally:

For adults and children, the starting dose might be low and then gradually increased to find the most effective dose with the fewest side effects.
The medication is often taken as a divided dose, meaning it's taken more than once a day.

Never adjust the dosage or stop the medication without first consulting with your healthcare provider. It's also essential to take the medication regularly and consistently for the best therapeutic effect.

Advice for Patients

Always follow your doctor's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment. Inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking and any underlying health conditions. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, seek medical attention promptly. If planning to become pregnant or during pregnancy, discuss the potential risks and benefits of the medication with your healthcare provider.
