Hello, Diva OD 500 and Diva 500 both contain divalproex sodium 500 mg, but Diva OD is an extended-release (once-daily) formulation, while Diva 500 is usually an immediate/delayed-release tablet. They are not exactly the same and are not interchangeable without dose adjustment.
Next Steps
Please do not start or switch on your own. It is advisable to replace Diva 500 with Diva OD 500 as originally prescribed, or consult your treating doctor so the dose and timing can be adjusted safely.
