| Pharmacology: | Divalproex is a stable co-ordination compound comprised of sodium valproate and valproic acid in a 1:1 molar relationship and formed during the partial
 neutralization of valproic acid with 0.5 equivalent of sodium hydroxide. Divalproex
 is an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug used primarily in the treatment of
 epilepsy and bipolar disorder. It is also used to treat migraine headaches and
 schizophrenia. In epileptics, divalproex is used to control absence seizures,
 tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal), complex partial seizures, and the seizures
 associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Divalproex is believed to affect the
 function of the neurotransmitter GABA (as a GABA transaminase inhibitor) in the
 human brain. Divalproex dissociates to the valproate ion in the gastrointestinal
 tract.
 | 
| Mechanism_of_action: | Divalproex binds to and inhibits GABA transaminase. The drug-s anticonvulsant activity may be related to increased brain concentrations of gamma-aminobutyric acid
 (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS, by inhibiting enzymes that
 catabolize GABA or block the reuptake of GABA into glia and nerve endings.
 Divalproex may also work by suppressing repetitive neuronal firing through
 inhibition of voltage-sensitive sodium channels.
