Cutting A Divalproex 500 Mg Tablet In Half

Updated

My sister mixed up her 250 mg am dose of Depakote and her 500 mg pm dose of Depakote this morning. She's waiting for her script to be refilled for her am dosage. Can she cut the 500 mg pill in half so she's not overdosing herself??

Hello, Brandy! How is your sister doing?

What are the markings on the tablets? I need this information to check and see if they are time released, or are safe to cut.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, hair loss and blurry vision.
