Does Encorate Chrono 300 Mg Have Any Impact On Liver Function?

My daughter started encorate chrono 300 mg a few months back after she got a seizure . We just got her lipid profile results. Her total cholesterol is ver low at 88 and the LDL is at 29 and Hdl is 7. These results are in sharp contrast from her last lipid profile done before she started the medication. My question is if the medication is having an impact on her liver function.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your daughter had seizures so she is given encorate (sodium valproate).
Generally it does not affect liver functions much.
Weight gain, skin rash, hair loss, diarrhea are the common side effects.
There is some problem with her lipid profile test. She should go for repeat lipid profile test. Don't worry it will come normal. Continue encorate as prescribed by your treating doctor.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
