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

  1. Epilepsy: Depakene is used for the treatment of complex partial seizures, simple and complex absence seizures, and other types of generalized seizures.
  2. Mania Associated with Bipolar Disorder: It is indicated for the treatment of manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
  3. Migraine Prophylaxis: Depakene is used for the prophylaxis of migraine headaches in adults.
  4. Seizure Prophylaxis: It is indicated for the prevention of migraine headaches.

Depakene belongs to a class of medications known as anticonvulsants or antiepileptic drugs, which work by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain and affecting neurotransmitters involved in seizure activity and mood regulation.

Depakene (valproic acid) is available in the form of a delayed-release capsule. It should be taken by mouth as directed by your healthcare provider. In case of stomach upset, the capsule may be taken with food. However, the capsule should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed, which can irritate the mouth or throat.

The dosage of the medication will depend on several factors such as your age, weight, medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. You should inform your healthcare provider about all the products you use, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products.

If Depakene is used for seizures, do not stop taking it without consulting your healthcare provider. Suddenly stopping the medication can make your condition worse.
