Wanporex-ER
Description_Effects
Wanporex-ER is an extended-release formulation of Divalproex Sodium, primarily used to manage and stabilize mood in conditions such as bipolar disorder, epilepsy, and to prevent migraine headaches. In bipolar disorder, it helps restore the natural balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, reducing the frequency and severity of mood swings. It is especially effective in preventing manic episodes and helps to ease agitation, irritability, and emotional instability. Over time, regular use may also reduce the frequency of depressive episodes, although noticeable improvements may take several weeks. In epilepsy, Wanporex-ER works by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain, thereby reducing the risk of seizures. It can be used alone or in combination with other antiepileptic medications. For migraine prevention, it helps reduce the occurrence and intensity of headache episodes. The medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed, typically once daily due to its extended-release profile. Do not stop taking it suddenly, as it may lead to worsening symptoms or withdrawal effects. Common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, weight gain, or drowsiness. Regular blood tests may be needed to monitor liver function and drug levels. A healthy lifestyle alongside medication can enhance overall effectiveness in managing long-term neurological and psychiatric conditions.
