Taylo Sav 200 100 ML

Product Overview

Taylo Sav 200 100 ML is an oral solution containing Sodium Valproate, an antiepileptic drug widely used for the treatment of various seizure disorders. It is formulated as a syrup to facilitate administration, especially for pediatric patients and those who have difficulty swallowing tablets. Sodium Valproate works by increasing the amount of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, a neurotransmitter that helps to calm nerve activity.

Key Benefits

• Effective in managing various types of seizures, including generalized, partial, and absence seizures.
• Can be used in the treatment of manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
• Available in a liquid formulation, making it suitable for children and adults who prefer or require a liquid dosage.
• Helps to stabilize mood in individuals with bipolar disorder.

How to Use

1. Always use Taylo Sav 200 100 ML exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change your dose or stop taking the medication without consulting your healthcare provider.
2. Measure the prescribed dose accurately using a measuring spoon or oral syringe provided or recommended by your pharmacist.
3. The syrup can be taken with or without food. Taking it with food may help to reduce gastrointestinal upset.
4. Swallow the dose directly. Do not dilute unless instructed by your doctor or pharmacist.
5. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
