Depakote ER (active ingredient: divalproex sodium) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Epilepsy: Depakote ER is used as monotherapy and adjunctive therapy in the treatment of complex partial seizures and simple and complex absence seizures.
  2. Acute Mania: It is indicated for the treatment of manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
  3. Prophylaxis of Migraine Headaches: Depakote ER is used for the prophylaxis of migraine headaches in adults.

Depakote ER belongs to a class of drugs known as anticonvulsants or antiepileptics, which work by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain and affecting certain neurotransmitters to control seizures and mood disorders.

Depakote ER is available in tablet form and is taken orally once a day, unless otherwise directed by a doctor. The tablets should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed to avoid releasing all the medication at once, which can increase side effects. Patients may take Depakote ER with food to prevent stomach upset.

The recommended dosage of Depakote ER (Divalproex ER) depends on several factors such as age, weight, medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications the patient may be taking. The recommended initial dose for Depakote ER tablets is usually 25 mg/kg/day given once daily, which can be increased gradually.
