valproic acid and BCECTS

valproic acid has been researched along with BCECTS in 26 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.

"Atypical features of rolandic epilepsy are not uncommon, although the long-term prognosis of this condition is not known."1.31Typical and atypical rolandic epilepsy in childhood: a follow-up study. ( Chiarelli, F; Cutarella, R; Giannuzzi, R; Latini, G; Morgese, G; Trotta, D; Verrotti, A, 2002)
"The treatment with valproic acid (VPA) and clonazepam (CZP), has been very effective."1.30[Atypical benign partial epilepsy of childhood. Clinical follow-up EEG study of 3 patients]. ( Bauzano-Poley, E; Delgado-Marqués, MP; Mora-Ramírez, MD; Rodríguez-Barrionuevo, AC; Tosina-García, E, 1998)
" Seizures became diurnal and frequent, not modified by carbamazepine (CBZ) or valproate (VPA) but responding to VPA and lamotrigine (LTG) with recommended dosage schedules for this combination."1.30Paradoxic reaction to lamotrigine in a child with benign focal epilepsy of childhood with centrotemporal spikes.
