Depakote is prescribed to people who need treatment for various types of seizures. The medication also has been used to treat people with bipolar disorders (manic-depressive illness) and to prevent migraine headaches.
Side Effects Linked to Depakote
The drug has been linked to serious and potentially deadly side effects, including but not limited to:
- Birth defects (cleft palate, hand deformations, pulmonary stenosis, heart malformations)
- Liver failure
- Pancreatitis
Alarmingly, a May 2007 report to the American Academy of Neurology revealed that 25 percent of pregnant women using Depakote gave birth to mentally retarded children. Also, 20 percent of them gave birth to children who died or had serious birth defects.
