Depakote ER Information

reviewed by Dr. HaVy Ngo, Pharmacist on 8/27/2024 10:38:44 AM.

Depakote ER Details (Brand and Generic)

CanadaPharmacyOnline.com offers Depakote ER from India, which is manufactured by Sanofi Aventis. We also carry the generic Divalproex Sodium 24-Hour Tablet, Dicorate ER, manufactured by Sun Pharma. Our customers may also purchase other antiepileptic medications such as Lamictal and Keppra.

Dosage

The brand version of Depakote ER is available in 250 mg and 500 mg tablets, and the generic Divalproex Sodium 24-hour tablet comes in 250 mg, 500 mg, 750 mg, and 1000 mg tablets; for more dosage information, please refer to Medscape.

Usage

Depakote ER (divalproex sodium) is used to treat seizure disorders (epilepsy) at least ten years old and certain psychiatric conditions (manic phase of bipolar disorder) and to prevent migraine headaches in adults (source). It belongs to the class of medicines known as antiepileptics (AEDs), anticonvulsants, or mood stabilizers (source). It works by increasing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the brain, a neurotransmitter that calms nervous activity.

It is crucial to take the medication exactly as your doctor prescribes or refer to the patient information leaflet. Please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.

Side Effects

The common side effects of Depakote ER may include bruising or bleeding, diarrhea, drowsiness or dizziness, hair loss, headache, nausea, vomiting, and weight changes (source).

Contact your doctor right away if you have any severe side effects such as:
• Chest pain;
• Depression or mental/mood problems;
• Easy bruising or unusual bleeding;
• Fast/slow/irregular heartbeat;
• Fever, swollen glands, or mouth sores;
• Severe allergic reactions such as difficulty breathing, swelling on the face/tip/tongue;
