Sodium valproate Use and Manufacturing

Antiepileptic; increases levels of GABA in the brain

Drug Function and Efficacy

This product is an anti-epileptic drug that can increase the synthesis of GABA and reduce the degradation of GABA, thereby increasing the concentration of the inhibitory neurotransmitter g-aminobutyric acid (GABA), reducing the excitability of neurons and inhibiting seizures. In electrophysiological experiments, this product can produce an inhibitory effect on Na channels similar to that of phenytoin. It is harmful to the liver.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
