Depakote (divalproex sodium) ER is a medicine used to treat seizure disorders, migraine headaches, and certain mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder. The âERâ part of the name stands for âextended release,â meaning the contents of the medicine are released slowly, not all at once, after you take the medicine.
Precautions and Side Effects. Depakote ER tablets should not be taken by patients who have a history of urea cycle disorder or liver problems. Certain drugs may interfere with Depakote and it is therefore recommended that the patient discuss about the medicines that he may be taking with the doctor.
