Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Valprol is one of the effective & safe drugs for the treatment of convulsions.
However it can cause the following side effects like abdominal pain, nausea, weight gain, some times injury to the liver which is very rare.
The convulsions are well controlled by Valprol but he must avoid riding the motor vehicles, and also swimming.
Take care!
