Jan 13, 2011, 6:52 PM. I just read on another post regarding snorkeling that the ocean is especially cold this year. How cold is it? I recall my March 2010 trip was fairly cold but my late September trip was perfect (more ocean time than pool time). I'm hoping that it gets warmer as I'm returning in March again this year. Do El Nino or La Nina have anything to do with the water temps?
Administration of DEPAKOTE (divalproex sodium) tablets and IV. only. DESCRIPTION. Valproate sodium is the sodium salt of valproic acid designated as sodium. 2-propylpentanoate. Valproate sodium has the following structure: Valproate sodium has a molecular weight of 166.2. It occurs as an. essentially white and odorless, crystalline, deliquescent powder.
â¢ Most clinicians dose Depakote at bedtime in order to increase compliance and minimize side effects, regardless of the formulation used. â¢ Start at 250-500 mg QHS, gradually increasing to achieve a blood Depakote level of 70-80 mcg/mL, which will often be in the 1000-1250 mg QHS range. â¢ When converting from regular Depakote to Depakote ER, be aware that patients will see about 20% less. valproic acid with the ER formulation, making converting somewhat tricky, given that Depakote ER only. comes in the 500 mg option.
