Depakote ER is a medication usually prescribed to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder, though it is frequently used to prevent migraines. Different pharmaceutical brands carry similar products, all of which are available to the US public.
This particular site belongs to Abbott Laboratories, and it works as a source of information for patients, relatives, friends, doctors and other healthcare professionals on the conditions Depakote treats, and the drug itself. Since this medication is used for very different conditions, DepakoteER.com is also divided in order to more efficiently approach the concerns of different audiences, namely Epilepsy, Bipolar Disorder, Migraine and Doctors, so that you can explore the specific uses and resources available for each of them. As opposed to the rest of the site, these sections are really targeted for patients, providing them with a variety of information sources and glossaries to better help them understand and get over their conditions, a directory of condition-related sites of interest, and others from where users can get support and meet other people with bipolar disorder or epilepsy. Though this is very much the standard utilities to be found on medication sites, users will quickly notice that Abbott’s has nicer design and useful printables which allow patients to keep track of their doctor appointments, organize the medications they have to take, and even write down questions they want to ask to their physicians; interestingly, the site gives away pill boxes and discount coupons for medication, so it not only serves their own marketing interests, but give something in return to patients as well.
