About Dilpra 250Mg Tablet

Dilpra 250Mg Tablet belongs to a group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits. In addition, Dilpra 250Mg Tablet also treats manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. Besides this, it can also prevent migraine symptoms (like a headache). 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.

Dilpra 250Mg Tablet contains Valproic acid, which reduces the brain's excessive and aberrant nerve activity. As a result, it aids in the control of seizures. Dilpra 250Mg Tablet raises the concentration of a chemical molecule known as GABA, which helps to stop nerve communication across the brain and has a calming effect. This contributes to the treatment of bipolar disorder. Dilpra 250Mg Tablet limits the transmission of nerve pain, thereby preventing migraine headaches.

Dilpra 250Mg Tablet should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. You may sometimes experience nausea, upset stomach or stomach pain, tremors (shakes), sleepiness, headache, weight gain and thinning hair. Most of these side effects are temporary and will go away on their own. However, if you suffer these adverse effects on a regular basis, you should consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any components present in Dilpra 250Mg Tablet. If you are pregnant, do not take Dilpra 250Mg Tablet because it may cause serious congenital defects. Use effective contraception if you are of childbearing age while taking Dilpra 250Mg Tablet. If you are breastfeeding, inform your doctor before taking Dilpra 250Mg Tablet.
