Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Tremors of hands are a side effect of valprol (sodium valproate). I presume you are taking valprol for control of seizures or bipolar disorder. Please discuss with your doctor regarding this side effect. If the side effect is interfering with your daily life, there are two options.
One option is to replace valproate with another drug, such as carbamazepine.
If we can not replace the drug, then, we can use propranolol tablets to reduce the hand tremors.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
