About Valance OD 250 Tablet 15’s
Valance OD 250 Tablet 15’s belongs to a class of drugs called anti-epileptics also known as an anticonvulsant medication. It is used to treat neurological conditions. It is used for the treatment of manic episodes in bipolar disorder, complex partial seizures, simple and complex absence seizures, and other types of seizures that include absence seizures. It is used as prophylaxis for migraines. Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that affects your moods, which can swing from one extreme to another. It used to be known as manic depression.
