Valproic Acid details
What Valproic Acid shows
This test measures blood levels of valproic acid, a medication used to treat seizure disorders (epilepsy), certain mood disorders (including bipolar disorder), and sometimes migraine prevention. Valproic acid has a defined therapeutic range, and blood level monitoring helps ensure a person is receiving an effective dose for seizure or mood control without unnecessary risk from excessive levels, which can cause side effects including liver stress — a particular concern with this specific medication, so liver function is often monitored alongside blood levels.
