About Valmed-CR 300 Tablet

Valmed-CR 300 Tablet belongs to a group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits. In addition, Valmed-CR 300 Tablet also treats manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. Besides this, it can also prevent migraine symptoms (like a headache).

Valmed-CR 300 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.
