Depakene Oral Solution (active ingredient: valproic acid) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Epilepsy: Depakene Oral Solution is used to treat various types of seizures associated with epilepsy, including complex partial seizures, simple and complex absence seizures, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
  2. Bipolar Disorder: It is indicated for the management of manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
  3. Migraine Prophylaxis: Depakene Oral Solution is also used for the prevention of migraines.

Depakene Oral Solution belongs to a class of drugs known as anticonvulsants, which work by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain to control seizures, stabilize mood, and prevent migraine headaches.

Take Depakene Oral Solution by mouth as directed by your doctor. You may take it with food if stomach upset occurs. Use a specially marked device to measure the correct amount of medication. Valproate sodium syrup should not be mixed with carbonated drinks because it may irritate the mouth and throat.

The dosage is based on your age, weight, medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).

Use Depakene Oral Solution regularly to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same time each day to keep the amount of medication in your blood constant. If Depakene Oral Solution is used for seizures, do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor.

Your condition may become worse if the drug is suddenly stopped. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased. Depakene Oral Solution does not relieve acute migraine headaches. Take other medications as directed by your doctor for acute attacks.
