potential for mix-ups between Depakote ER and the original Depakote (divalproex) tablets

There's a real potential for mix-ups between Depakote ER and the original Depakote (divalproex) tablets.

Both come in 500 mg tabs...and are approved to prevent migraines. The original Depakote is also used for seizures and mania.

Depakote is a DELAYED-RELEASE tablet. It releases the drug over 8 to 12 hours...and is usually dosed BID to TID.
