What Are The Long Term Side Effect Of Valparin?
My daugher who is now 8 years old, now takes valpharin 200 tablets twice a day. She is taking this drug since she was 5 1/2 years old (earlier she was given valpharin 200 syrup for 2.5 and 5 ml daily) . Is there any side effect to this drug, if taken for longer period.

Hello,
Your daughter has a seizure disorder and the doctor is adjusting the dose of her medication according to the weight. So as she grows, she would require more medicine.
It is important that she receives the medicine continuously and in the correct dose to remain seizure-free. The side effects are minimal and far outway the benefits.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
