What is Valproic Acid (Sodium Valporate)?

Valproic acid is a medicine used to treat certain neurological disorders like epilepsy or other mental conditions like bipolar disorder and prevent migraine headaches. A valproic acid test measures and monitors the amount of this medicine in the blood sample. This test is often conducted at timely intervals throughout the treatment to check for the optimal range of this medicine. It is important to take the exact prescribed dosage of this medicine to avoid derangement of the test results. Your doctor may adjust the dosage up or down depending on the results of this blood test.

What is Valproic Acid (Sodium Valporate) used for?

  1. This test is ordered if someone begins valproic acid treatment. Once a stable concentration in the given therapeutic range is achieved, the valproic acid level may then be monitored at regolar intervals to ensure that it remains within this range
