Divalproex and Unresponsive to stimuli - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Unresponsive to stimuli is reported as a side effect among people who take Divalproex (divalproex sodium), especially for people who are male, 40-49 old, have been taking the drug for 1 - 2 years also take Topiramate, and have Convulsion.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Unresponsive to stimuli when taking Divalproex. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 13,527 people who have side effects when taking Divalproex from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
