Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Valproate can cause serious harm to an unborn baby. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or could become pregnant, tell your specialist promptly. It should be used for epilepsy in pregnancy only when other treatments have failed or are unsuitable, under specialist care.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding. Valproate passes into breast milk, so the clinician should weigh the benefits and possible effects on the infant.

Driving

Driving

This medicine may cause sleepiness, dizziness or tremor. Do not drive or use machinery until you know how it affects you.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol because it may increase sleepiness and dizziness.

Directions for Use

This injection will be given by a doctor or nurse through a vein in a hospital or clinic. Do not self-inject. It is used only when oral valproate cannot be taken, and your clinician will monitor your treatment.

Storage and disposal

Store in the original pack at room temperature and protect it from light as directed on the label. Keep it out of reach of children. Any unused prepared medicine must be discarded by the hospital or clinic.

Quick Tips

  • Do not stop seizure treatment suddenly unless your doctor tells you to.
  • Keep every liver test and blood test appointment.
  • Report unusual bruising, severe vomiting, sleepiness or a change in seizure control promptly.

Dosage

Overdose

An overdose may cause marked sleepiness, confusion, vomiting, breathing problems or loss of consciousness. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If an appointment for this injection was missed, contact your doctor or clinic promptly. Do not receive an extra injection. If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it's time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Sodium valproate increases inhibitory signals in the brain, helping reduce abnormal electrical activity and seizures.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way sodium valproate works or increase unwanted effects. Tell your doctor about all medicines, supplements and herbal products you use. In particular, mention other seizure medicines, aspirin or other pain medicines, blood thinners, antibiotics and topiramate.
