what is depakote er used for
Brand name medicines appear in green; generic medicines appear in red. Donât confuse Depakote with Depakote ER. Depakote (divalproex sodium) ER is a medicine used to treat seizure disorders, migraine headaches, and certain mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder. The âERâ part of the name stands for âextended release,â meaning the contents of the medicine are released slowly, not all at once, after you take the medicine.
