Depakote

People with seizures, bipolar disorder or episodes of mania have been given a drug called Depakote (valproate semisodium or divalproex sodium). While the drug appeared to work as a treatment for certain disorders, some patients suffered serious side effects.

Some pregnant women using Depakote gave birth to newborns with birth defects, including Spina Bifida, Cleft Palate and other malformations that were linked to Depakote.
