Overview
Epilim Chrono 300mg Tablets (100 pack) contain sodium valproate with valproic acid in a prolonged-release formulation from Sanofi, a cornerstone treatment for epilepsy. The Chrono technology smooths medicine levels across the day, controlling generalised and partial seizures with once- or twice-daily dosing and fewer peaks and troughs. It is also used by specialists for bipolar disorder. For people living with epilepsy, consistent daily Epilim is what keeps seizures away. Making adherence and regular specialist review essential.
Sodium valproate 200mg with valproic acid 87mg (equivalent to ~300mg valproate) per prolonged-release tablet.
