"Repurposing drugs already approved by the FDA and which have been shown to be safe, such as valproic acid, is an economical and time-efficient way to quickly bring new treatments to patients," said Kaushal. ❋ Unknown (2010)

He had me working up to 750mg a day, valproic acid ... anyone have an opinion on this? ❋ Dravengodvamp (2005)
Anecdotally, bipolar patients not responding fully to other treatments, including carbamazepine, may subsequently do well with valproic acid therapy. ❋ Michael Alan Taylor (1993)
Carbamazepine and valproic acid are rapidly metabolized by the liver and must be taken several times daily to maintain a therapeutic blood level. ❋ Michael Alan Taylor (1993)
Anticonvulsants are easily absorbed from the gut and circulate in the blood, partly free and partly bound to plasma protein 75% for carbamazepine, 90% for valproic acid. ❋ Michael Alan Taylor (1993)
Pretreatment evaluation and serial liver function monitoring during treatment are helpful in determining early signs of toxicity, at which time valproic acid must be discontinued. ❋ Michael Alan Taylor (1993)
Carbamazepine and valproic acid are most commonly used for this purpose. ❋ Michael Alan Taylor (1993)
If pharmacotherapy is used, the preferred choices are (1) lithium alone or (2) lithium in combination with carbamazepine, valproic acid, or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). ❋ Michael Alan Taylor (1993)
Salicylates displace valproic acid from protein binding leading to increased levels of free drug, thus greater bioavailability can be achieved with less oral dose. ❋ Michael Alan Taylor (1993)
