Divaa 500 Tablet 15 contains divalproex (500 mg), which works on your body through several mechanisms:

• Increases GABA levels: Divalproex increases levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in your brain. GABA is a chemical messenger that reduces neuronal excitability, helping to control seizures and stabilise mood.
• Blocks sodium channels: Divalproex blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in the brain. This action helps reduce the abnormal electrical activity associated with epilepsy and seizures.
• Inhibits T-type calcium channels: By inhibiting T-type calcium channels, divalproex further contributes to its anticonvulsant properties.
• Modulates neurotransmitter effects: Finally, divalproex modulates the effects of other neurotransmitters such as glutamate and serotonin, which are involved in regulating mood and behaviour.
