What is Divaa OD-250?
Divaa OD works by increasing neurotransmitters, a natural substance in the brain to stabilize electrical activity and maintain mental balance. The active ingredient divalproex sodium is considered an antiepileptic and anticonvulsant type of medication. It can be used to treat certain mental conditions such as bipolar disorder, mania and epilepsy. Some people may also use the medication to prevent migraine symptoms.
How is Divaa OD-250 used?
Divaa OD-250 should be taken as directed by a doctor, usually once per day. The tablets should be taken with a meal along with a glass of water to prevent an upset stomach. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage as it will depend on the patient’s condition and response to the therapy. The extended tablets should always be taken whole and not split, crushed or chewed to prevent mouth or throat irritation. Do not discontinue the drug without consulting a doctor as abruptly stopping the medication can cause a relapse in the patient’s condition.
