Overview

Sodium valproate is a widely used anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing medication primarily indicated for the treatment of various forms of epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It functions through a multi-modal mechanism of action, including the enhancement of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels by inhibiting GABA transaminase, the blockade of voltage-gated sodium channels, and the inhibition of T-type calcium channels. Additionally, it acts as a non-selective inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs), contributing to its neuroprotective and mood-stabilizing effects. TwinPharma markets specific formulations of sodium valproate, including modified-release (enteric-coated) tablets and an oral solution, typically under license or distribution agreements in the European market.
