Depakine Chrono is a medicine used to treat:
- Epilepsy, in generalized seizures:
myoclonic seizures,
tonic-clonic seizures,
atonic seizures,
seizures of unconsciousness;
- Epilepsy in partial seizures
- Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
- Mania, which is a condition when the patient feels very excited, exhilarating, agitated, enthusiastic or hyperactive.
The use of the preparation in the treatment of depression is the so-called "off-label", i.e. outside the registered indications. Such therapeutic procedures should be carried out in accordance with the recommendations and under the supervision of the attending physician. We wrote more about the off-label use of the drug in the article:

If you have any doubts about the recommended dosage, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. You can also take advantage of a teleconsultation via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
