Depakote Sprinkle Capsules are an oral medication that come in capsule form and can be taken with food to avoid stomach upset. The capsule may be swallowed whole, or the contents can be sprinkled onto soft food, such as applesauce or pudding, and swallowed immediately without chewing. If any of the contents spill, the capsule should be discarded, and a new capsule should be used with another portion of food.
The Dosage of Depakote Sprinkles is individualized, based on factors such as age, weight, medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications the patient may be taking. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all the products they are using, including any prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products.
To get the maximum benefit from the medication, patients should use it regularly and at the same time each day to keep the amount of medication in the bloodstream constant. Patients should not stop taking the medication without consulting their doctor, as stopping the medication suddenly may worsen the condition.
