Epilim Chrono 300mg (60 Tablets)
Epilim Chrono 300mg is a controlled-release medication used primarily for the management of various types of epilepsy and bipolar disorder. Each lilac-colored tablet contains a combination of sodium valproate and valproic acid.
The "Chrono" technology ensures that the active ingredients are released slowly into the bloodstream, helping to maintain a stable level of medication in the body. This often means you only need to take it once or twice a day.
Key Uses
- Seizure Control: Used to treat generalized, partial, or other forms of epilepsy in adults and children.
- Bipolar Disorder: Prescribed to treat manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder when other treatments are not suitable.
How to Use Epilim Chrono
- These tablets should be swallowed whole. Do not crush or chew them, as this will destroy the controlled-release mechanism.
- Always take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as advised by a GoMed pharmacist.
- It is usually taken once or twice daily.
