How STAVZOR Works

STAVZOR is valproic acid (valproate) medication that works as a mood stabilizer.

Valproic acid is one of the most trusted and effective medications available to treat the manic episodes of bipolar disorder. It is recommended as a first-line therapy by the American Psychiatric Association. STAVZOR is approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Although it is not completely understood how valproate works in the brain, scientists believe it regulates the balance of brain chemicals. It does so by increasing the amount of a natural chemical called gamma-aminobutyric (GABA). This chemical decreases the brain's excitability. It helps you think more calmly and clearly.
