Bioval 200 mg Syrup belongs to the group of medicines called anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits and bipolar disorder. Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. In epilepsy, the brain's electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures, sometimes leading to an unconscious state.
Bioval 200 mg Syrup contains 'Sodium valproate', which decreases the brain's excessive and abnormal nerve activity. Thus, it helps in controlling seizures. Bioval 200 mg Syrup increases the amount of a chemical substance called GABA; this helps block nerve transmission across the brain and provides a calming effect. Thus, it helps treat bipolar disorder.
