ENCORATE CHRONO 500MG TABLET 10'S

How ENCORATE CHRONO 500MG TABLET 10'S Works

• ENCORATE Chrono 500mg Tablet contains valproic acid as its active ingredient. Valproic acid is an anticonvulsant medication that works through multiple mechanisms to stabilize electrical activity in the brain and prevent seizures. Firstly, it enhances the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that inhibits nerve impulses in the brain. By increasing GABA levels, ENCORATE Chrono helps to reduce the excitability of neurons and prevent the abnormal electrical discharges that cause seizures.
• Secondly, valproic acid affects sodium channels in the brain. Sodium channels are essential for the transmission of electrical signals along nerve cells. Valproic acid slows the recovery of these sodium channels from an inactive state, which reduces the ability of neurons to fire rapidly and repetitively, thus controlling seizures. This mechanism helps to regulate the flow of sodium ions into brain cells, further stabilizing neuronal activity.
• Thirdly, ENCORATE Chrono influences calcium channels. Calcium channels play a role in neurotransmitter release. By modulating calcium channels, valproic acid can reduce the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, contributing to a calming effect on the brain. This is particularly important in managing conditions like mania, where there is excessive neuronal excitation.The 'Chrono' formulation indicates a controlled-release mechanism. This means the tablet is designed to release the valproic acid slowly and steadily over an extended period. This helps to maintain a consistent level of the medication in the bloodstream, reducing fluctuations that can lead to breakthrough seizures or side effects. The controlled-release action ensures that the drug is released gradually, usually over 8-12 hours, providing a more even therapeutic effect throughout the day and night. By combining these actions, ENCORATE Chrono 500mg Tablet effectively manages seizures, stabilizes mood in bipolar disorder, and prevents migraine headaches, offering a comprehensive therapeutic effect.
