About Divalmed 750Mg Tablet

Divalmed 750Mg Tablet belongs to a group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits. In addition, Divalmed 750Mg Tablet also treats manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. Besides this, it can also prevent migraine symptoms (like a headache).

Divalmed 750Mg Tablet raises the concentration of a chemical molecule known as GABA, which helps to stop nerve communication across the brain and has a calming effect. This contributes to the treatment of bipolar disorder. Divalmed 750Mg Tablet limits the transmission of nerve pain, thereby preventing migraine headaches.
