Divalpro XR 500mg tablet contains Divalproex, a salt form of valproic acid. The medication, after administration, breaks down into valproic acid. Valproic acid acts on the GABA levels in the central nervous system, blocks the voltage-gated ion channels and inhibits the histone deacetylase. This effect reduces the excess of responses in the brain and prevents epilepsy attacks....
