Valproic acid, Epival’s active ingredient, is a branched short-chain fatty acid thought to affect neurotransmitter release and degradation. Its precise mechanism of action is not entirely understood but is believed to involve an increase in the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain or by inhibiting sodium channels, thereby stabilizing neuronal membranes.

Description

Epival is a brand name for the medication valproic acid or divalproex sodium. It is primarily used as an anticonvulsant to treat seizure disorders, including epilepsy. It can also be prescribed for the treatment of manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder and to prevent migraine headaches. Epival works by restoring the brain’s balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters).
