HOW ENCORATE CHRONO 500MG TABLET WORKS
ENCORATE CHRONO 500MG 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.
