Yes. Depakote ER is the brand-name version of divalproex sodium extended-release, manufactured by AbbVie Inc. The generic equivalent is available.

Depakote ER is an extended-release anticonvulsant from the fatty acid derivative drug class. It is primarily prescribed to treat various types of seizure disorders, manage manic episodes in bipolar disorder, and help prevent migraine headaches. The medication works by helping to restore the balance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. It is crucial to discuss your full medical history with your doctor before starting this medication, as it is contraindicated in people with certain liver diseases, urea cycle disorders, or specific genetic conditions like Alpers' disease. Special precautions are necessary for individuals with a history of depression, mental illness, or mitochondrial disorders. Due to a high risk of serious birth defects and potential long-term effects on a child's development, the use of Depakote ER during pregnancy requires careful management and should never be started or stopped without direct medical supervision.

Common side effects of Depakote ER can include nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, weakness, tremors, coordination problems, blurred vision, and changes in appetite or weight. A serious and potentially fatal risk is liver failure, which is of particular concern for children under two years old and individuals with certain genetic mitochondrial disorders. This is not a complete list of possible adverse effects. Always consult your healthcare provider for advice on managing any side effects you experience.
