Hi Sathish,




If you Google you will see a big list of side effects for all anti epileptic medicines.



Main ones for valaprin are gastric disturbances,low platelet count,hair Loss,etc.




However please remember that it is an essential drug to take care of seizures in your child and is usually a well tolerated drug..



All the best
