Description_Effects
DILEVOrex-ER-750 contains Divalproex Sodium 750 mg in an extended-release formulation used for the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and migraine prevention. It belongs to the class of medications known as antiepileptic drugs. The medicine works by increasing the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a calming chemical in the brain, which helps reduce abnormal nerve activity. In epilepsy, it is used to control various types of seizures by stabilizing electrical signals in the brain. In bipolar disorder, it helps in managing manic episodes and maintaining mood stability. It is also effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of migraine attacks, although it is not used for immediate relief of migraine symptoms. This extended-release tablet is designed to maintain steady levels of the medicine in the bloodstream, allowing for convenient once-daily dosing. It should be taken at the same time every day, preferably with food to reduce stomach upset. Common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, sleepiness, tremors, weight changes, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Serious side effects such as liver problems or pancreatitis are rare but require immediate medical attention. It is essential not to stop taking this medication suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it may lead to worsening of the condition or withdrawal symptoms.
