Divalproex (also known as valproic acid) is a medication that is used to treat various conditions, including epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and migraine headaches. The medication is available in different strengths, and divalproex 500mg is a common strength.

The tablets are usually oval-shaped and light yellow in color, and come in a blister pack of 10 tablets. They may be imprinted with a code or letters to indicate the strength or manufacturer.

Divalproex works by increasing the levels of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. This helps to reduce the abnormal electrical activity that can cause seizures in epilepsy and mood swings in bipolar disorder. It can also help prevent migraine headaches by decreasing the excitability of nerves in the brain.

The medication should be taken as directed by a healthcare provider, usually with food to help with absorption and to reduce the risk of stomach upset.
