Diresta Od 250 Tablet 10 contains Divalproex (250 mg). Here is how this medicine works:

• Increases GABA Levels: Divalproex helps increase the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in your brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that nerves use to communicate with each other.
• Reduces Abnormal Nerve Activity: By increasing GABA levels, Divalproex effectively reduces abnormal and excessive nerve activity in the brain. This action helps control seizures and stabilise mood swings associated with bipolar disorder.
• Prevents Migraines: Divalproex may help prevent migraines by maintaining a balance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain.

• Keep Diresta Od 250 Tablet 10 at room temperature.

• Ensure the container is tightly closed to protect it from moisture.
• Keep the medicine out of reach of children.

• If you're taking this medication for epilepsy, avoid foods high in sodium, like processed meats and snack foods, as too much sodium can trigger seizures.
• For those using the Diresta Od 250 Tablet 10 for bipolar disorder, maintaining a regular sleep pattern is crucial. Disrupted sleep cycles can trigger manic or depressive episodes.
