valproic acid and Eyelid Diseases

valproic acid has been researched along with Eyelid Diseases in 6 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.

Eyelid Diseases: Diseases involving the EYELIDS.

"In a patient with idiopathic blepharospasm treatment with the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mimetic combination of baclofen and sodium valproate resulted in complete and sustained remission of symptoms and signs."7.66Blepharospasm--successful treatment with baclofen and sodium valproate. A case report. ( Sandyk, R, 1983)
"Valproic acid, a drug commonly used to treat seizures and other psychiatric disorders, causes neural tube defects (NTDs) in exposed fetuses at a rate 20 times higher than in the general population."3.73Valproic acid-induced fetal malformations are reduced by maternal immune stimulation with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor or interferon-gamma.
