Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Valparin chrono 200 contains sodium valproate 200 mg, valproic acid 87 mg which is a medicine to treat seizure, mania, migrain, epilepsy and related conditions.

It is to be given carefully in patients with liver problems. In the first 6 months after starting treatment the liver function tests are to be closely monitored. If the liver function test is normal for 6 months of regular treatment then there is no serious concern. Urinary bladder cancer with bone metastasis is not a contraindication for treatment with this medicine. If pain isnt severe then please discuss with the doctor. Please do not worry.
