Depakote
Depakote contains the active ingredient Divalproex sodium, which is is a type of medicine called a mood stabiliser.
It is used to treat the manic phase of a psychiatric illness known as bipolar affective disorder, or manic depression.
It may also be used to treat migraine headaches and other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Divalproex sodium is a stable co-ordination compound comprised of sodium valproate and valproic acid.
People with bipolar affective disorder suffer from abnormal mood swings, which range from episodes of abnormally high mood (mania or hypomania) to episodes of abnormally low mood (depression).
Depakote works as a mood stabiliser by increasing the amount of a natural nerve calming chemical in the brain called GABA.
The brain and nerves are made up of thousands of nerve cells that communicate with each other through electrical signals.
These signals must be carefully regulated for the brain and nerves to function properly.
When abnormally rapid and repetitive electrical signals are released in the brain, it becomes over-stimulated and normal function is disturbed.
The nerve activity is normally kept in balance by a natural chemical in the brain called GABA.
When GABA is released in the brain it acts as a natural calming agent. Once GABA is broken down in the brain, it can no longer act on the nerves.
When only small amounts of GABA are present, the brain may become 'overexcited'.
Depakote prevents the breakdown of GABA in the brain.
This enables more GABA to be available to calm nerve cells for a longer period of time.
By calming the nerve cells, Depakote prevents excessively rapid and repetitive firing of electrical signals.
This stabilises the electrical nerve activity in the brain and is thought to explain how Depakote calms periods of mania.
In addition to treating manic episodes, Depakote is prescribed by specialists as a maintenance treatment to help stabilise mood and prevent episodes of ill health, though this is an unlicensed use of the medicine.
