Dicorate ER 1000mg is a prescription treatment for manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. A manic episode is defined as a period of abnormally and persistently increased, or irritable mood. Common symptoms of mania include motor hyperactivity, pressured speech, flight of ideas, aggressiveness, poor judgment, reduced need for sleep, grandiosity, and possible hostility.
This medicine contains the active ingredient Divalproex, which works by restoring the normal balance of nerve activity in your brain. The extended-release capsules can help prevent extreme mood changes and make you feel less agitated. It may take up to several weeks for this medication to function, and you may still feel weak during this time. You will most likely be taking this medicine for at least six months. Dicorate ER 1000mg needs to be taken on a regular basis to work effectively. If the delayed release capsules are used for extended periods, the treatment's long-term effectiveness should be continually reevaluated for each patient. Dicorate extended-release capsules are used as monotherapy and combination treatment in patients with complex partial seizures. It is also indicated for use as monotherapy and adjunctive therapy in the treatment of simple and complex absence seizures, and adjunctively in individuals with different seizures, which also include absence seizures. Simple absence is defined as the loss of consciousness accompanied by certain generalized epileptic seizures without other detectable clinical signs. Whereas the term complex absence is used when other signs are also present.
The antiepileptic medicine works by reducing the nerve impulses that cause seizures. Balancing brain signals helps control symptoms effectively and improve overall well-being. It manages the frequency of seizures, which allows you to perform your daily activities with more confidence. It effectively reduces symptoms such as uncontrollable jerking movements, fear, anxiety, or loss of awareness. Dicorate ER does not cause addiction, but sudden discontinuation should be avoided. It should be taken regularly as prescribed to be effective.
Some sleep-inducing medications like cold or cough medicines, narcotic pain killers, sleeping pills, anti-depressants or muscle relaxers can add to the sleepiness caused due to Divalproex Sodium. Let your doctor know in advance if you use any of these medicines. Also, inform him if you use any of these potentially interacting (with Divalproex Sodium) medications: Topiramate, a blood thinner such as warfarin, tolbutamide, aspirin or acetaminophen, clozapine, diazepam, ethosuximide, meropenem, or rifampin.
Share the list of all present medications you may use with your doctor.
Things to remember:
— Divalproex Sodium usage may lead to suicidal thoughts. You must notify your doctor about any new or deteriorating symptoms like mood or behavior changes, depression, anxiety, suicidal or self-hurting thoughts, increased agitation, hostility, restlessness, or hyperactivity (mentally or physically).
— Also, avoid alcohol consumption as alcohol increases the risk of side effects of Divalproex Sodium. Grapefruit and its products are also not recommended
— Always store Divalproex Sodium medication in a cool and dry place, away from heat and moisture. Ensure that children or pets do not have access to this medication
Do not take Decorate ER if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from any pre-medical condition or have a medicinal course.
Decorate ER is known to cause life-threatening liver failure in rare cases, especially in children younger than 2 years of age. Children of that age maybe even at a higher risk for liver problems if they take more than one seizure medication, if they have a metabolic disorder, or if they have a brain disease causing mental impairment (Huntington's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, multiple sclerosis, or a brain injury or infection). In rare cases, Divalproex Sodium is also reported to have caused life-threatening pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). Pancreatitis can occur suddenly, and you may see symptoms even after taking this medication for several years.
You must get emergency medical attention if you experience nausea, vomiting, upper stomach pain, loss of appetite, dark urine, low fever, clay-coloured stools, or jaundice while taking Divalproex sodium. These may be initial symptoms of liver damage or pancreatitis.
The ER or Extended-release tablets are for once-a-day oral administration to be taken strictly according to the doctor's direction. Do not alter the dosage unless he advises you to do so. He may occasionally change the dosage over several weeks or months to ensure proper treatment. Follow your doctor's directions properly. Also, do not take this medication after the prescribed period is over.
Avoid crushing, breaking, or chewing a Divalproex extended-release (ER) tablet, as doing so may lead to too much of the medicine being released at once. Instead, swallow it whole. You must ensure to drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication. Always store Divalproex Sodium anti-convulsant medication in a cool and dry place.
Do not suddenly stop taking Decorate ER medication without your doctor's advice, even if you feel alright. If you suddenly stop this medication, your condition may worsen with increased seizures.
