Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Torvate (sodium valproate) is a safe and effective medication, used in treating migraine, epilepsy and mood disorders.

The common side effects include weight gain, tremors (shivering) of hands and hair loss. In very rare cases, it can lead to liver damage.

Swelling in your leg is most likely due to Amlopress (Amlodipine), the medicine for high BP.

Wishing you good health,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM
