HOW ENCORATE CHRONO 200MG TABLET WORKS
ENCORATE
CHRONO 200MG TABLET helps in managing epilepsy, where sodium valproate
and valproic acid effectively increases the GABA (a
neurotransmitter/chemical messenger) concentration in the central
nervous system by reducing its degradation. It also blocks certain ion
channels which reduce high-frequency neuronal activity in the brain,
thereby reliving seizure activity.
