Have Liver Problem, CKD Stage 4. On Depakote, Trilepta. Medicament With Less Side Effects?
Hi. I have Hep. C liver problem and a CKD stage 4. I was taking Depakote (total 3500 mg/day) for 4 years. Then, after switching to Trilepta for 2 years, I was in hospital for 1 month, where I was prescribed Depakote again and till now (5 months). Is there an alternative to depakote with minimum side-effects, considering my liver and kidney condition? Thanks

Hello
Thanks for the query
Depakote is safe drug to be used in you, you can continue using it. If you had told me why they had put you on Depakote I could have helped you better. Please get back to me as to who and why they had started using this drug.
Please get back to me, I am awaiting your reply
Regards
