Product Full Description
D-VALNEB 500 MG TABLET contains Divalproex Sodium 500 mg, a medicine with anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing properties.
Divalproex Sodium is converted to valproate in the body, which produces its principal therapeutic effects.
Valproate helps regulate excessive neuronal activity through effects on inhibitory neurotransmission and ion channels.
The prolonged-release formulation gradually delivers the active ingredient over an extended period.
The 500 mg strength provides a higher-dose option when selected as part of an individualized treatment regimen.
D-VALNEB 500 MG TABLET should be taken strictly according to the prescribing healthcare professional's instructions.

Mechanism of Action
Divalproex Sodium is converted to valproate in the body. Valproate influences several pathways involved in neuronal excitability, including enhancement of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated inhibitory activity. It also affects voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels and other neuronal signalling processes. These combined actions help stabilize abnormal neuronal activity and contribute to its anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing effects.
