EPILIM (SODIUM VALPROATE)

Ask About Epilim to Control Symptoms of Epilepsy

Epilim or the generic alternative Sodium Valproate is prescribed to treat epilepsy and seizures in both adults and children. A seizure is a short episode of symptoms which is caused by a burst of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Epilepsy cannot be cured with medication. However, with the right type and strength of medication, the majority of people with epilepsy do not have seizures. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

How Epilim Prevents Seizures

The brain and nerves are made up of many nerve cells that communicate with each other through electrical signals. These signals must be carefully regulated for the brain and nerves to function properly. When abnormally rapid and repetitive electrical signals are released in the brain, the brain becomes over-stimulated and normal function is disturbed. This results in fits or seizures. Epilim or Sodium Valproate generic prevents epileptic seizures by preventing excessive electrical activity in the brain. It does this by increasing the activity of a “nerve-calming” agent, known as gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA).

Uses for Epilim

Epileptic seizures are usually brief, lasting from seconds to a few minutes. The type of seizure depends upon where this takes place in your brain and how much of the brain is affected. Once the attack is over, the normal electrical activity of the brain resumes.

Anti-epileptic medications, such as Epilim are the main form of treatment with epilepsy. Medication will successfully control seizures for approximately 7 out of 10 people who have epilepsy. In addition to its primary use for treating epilepsy, Epilim or Sodium Valproate generic may be prescribed by doctors as a mood stabilizer for treating people with the psychiatric illness, bipolar affective disorder and for treating migraines.

Before You Take Epilim

Epilim should not be used: by anyone with active liver disease or a family history of decrease liver function; if you have a blood disorder known as porphyria; or if you have a genetic problem caused by a mitochondrial disorder.
