Depakote ER is indicated for the treatment of complex partial seizures, and simple and complex absence seizures in adults and children 10 years of age and older with epilepsy.
What the "ER" in Depakote ER stands for
"ER" stands for Extended Release, which means the medicine in Depakote ER is released into your blood-stream in a slower more even way.
Depakote ER is approved for once a day use for simplified dosing. This means you may only have to take it once a day, making it easier to remember.
