valproic acid and Allergy, Drug

valproic acid has been researched along with Allergy, Drug in 32 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

" With carbamazepine and phenytoin, hepatotoxicity may be due to drug hypersensitivity."4.77Hepatic considerations in the use of antiepileptic drugs. ( Dreifuss, FE; Langer, DH, 1987)
"Aromatic anticonvulsant agents such as carbamazepine and phenytoin can induce anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS) at a frequency of 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 1,000 treated patients."3.73Anticonvulsant hypersensitivity syndrome: cross-reactivity with tricyclic antidepressant agents. ( Bröcker, EB; Pfeuffer, P; Raith, P; Seitz, CS; Trautmann, A, 2006)
" We report a drug hypersensitivity syndrome in a 6-year-old Tunisian child treated for epileptic absences with sodium valproate and ethosuximide."3.70Hypersensitivity syndrome due to 2 anticonvulsant drugs. ( Conilleau, V; Dompmartin, A; Leroy, D; Michel, M; Verneuil, L, 1999)

" In addition, there was a significant dose-response association between the development of procarbazine hypersensitivity and the presence of therapeutic anticonvulsant serum levels (p = 0."1.30Anticonvulsant usage is associated with an increased risk of procarbazine hypersensitivity reactions in patients with brain tumors.
