valproic acid and Dizzyness

valproic acid has been researched along with Dizzyness in 12 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.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"One-hundred eighty patients with partial or idiopathic generalized nonabsence epilepsy, aged 6 to 65 years, requiring initiation of treatment with carbamazepine (CBZ), valproate (VPA), phenytoin (PHT), phenobarbital (PB), or primidone (PRM) were randomly allocated to two groups according to an open, prospective parallel-group design."5.09A multicenter randomized controlled trial on the clinical impact of therapeutic drug monitoring in patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy. The Italian TDM Study Group in Epilepsy. ( Bartoli, A; Cian, P; Fattore, C; Gatti, G; Jannuzzi, G; Monaco, F; Perucca, E, 2000)
" On the other hand, patients with divalproex exhibited significantly higher risk of nausea compared to those with placebo, topiramate, propranolol, gabapentin and amitriptyline."4.95Unveiling the relative efficacy, safety and tolerability of prophylactic medications for migraine: pairwise and network-meta analysis. ( He, A; Li, C; Song, D; Zhang, L, 2017)
" The small decreases in mean valproic acid Cmax and AUC0-tau observed during the concomitant administration of tiagabine and valproate are probably of limited clinical importance, given the broad therapeutic range of valproate (50-100 microg/mL)."2.69Lack of a clinically significant pharmacokinetic drug interaction between tiagabine and valproate. ( Boellner, SW; Granneman, GR; Guenther, HJ; Gustavson, LE; Sommerville, KW; Witt, GF, 1998)
" Two analyses of adverse events are presented: tolerability and safety."2.69Safety and tolerability of gabapentin as adjunctive therapy in a large, multicenter study. ( Bernstein, P; Faught, RE; Holmes, GL; Magnus-Miller, L; McLean, MJ; Morrell, MJ; Privitera, MD; Rose-Legatt, A; Willmore, LJ, 1999)
" The adverse effect (AE) profile of this combination needs clarification."2.69Adding lamotrigine to valproate: incidence of rash and other adverse effects. Postmarketing Antiepileptic Drug Survey (PADS) Group. ( Faught, E; French, J; Harden, C; Jacobson, M; Montouris, G; Morris, G; Rosenfeld, W, 1999)
"In all the patients with cerebral infarction, the current arrows exhibited the similar pattern as the normal subjects."1.31Cortical functional abnormality assessed by auditory-evoked magnetic fields and therapeutic approach in patients with chronic dizziness. ( Kandori, A; Miyashita, K; Murakami, M; Naritomi, H; Oe, H; Tsukada, K, 2002)
