valproic acid and Hypothermia

valproic acid has been researched along with Hypothermia in 11 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.

Hypothermia: Lower than normal body temperature, especially in warm-blooded animals.

" This case report describes a 28-year-old male presenting status-post multiple tonic-clonic seizures, treated for persistent seizure activity refractory to benzodiazepines with valproic acid (VPA), levetiracetam, and fosphenytoin."7.88A cool side effect of valproic acid administration: Single dose-induced hypothermia. ( Priano, J; Schiel, J; Servati, N; Vilar, J, 2018)
"We sought to explore a possible association between the concomitant use of topiramate and valproic acid and the induction of hypothermia."7.74Adjunctive topiramate enhances the risk of hypothermia associated with valproic acid therapy. ( Flowers, CM; Knudsen, JF; Sokol, GH, 2008)
"The purpose of the present paper was to remind physicians that hypothermia is a possible side-effect of combining zotepine, valproate,and benzodiazepine."7.72Two case studies of hypothermia induced by an increased dosage of zotepine in a combination therapy. ( Chen, KC; Chen, PS; Yang, MJ; Yang, YK; Yeh, TL, 2003)

"Hypothermia induced by LY 300164 combined with VPA may be useful in various central nervous system disease treatments."3.72Is a hypothermic effect of LY300164, valproate and phenobarbital evident in mice? ( Czuczwar, SJ; Luszczki, JJ; Swiader, MJ; Wielosz, M; Wierzchowska-Cioch, E; Zwolan, A, 2004)
"We present three children with severe therapy-refractory epilepsy who tolerated valproate (VPA) well in various combinations with other antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) but developed typical VPA side effects in combination with topiramate (TPM)."3.71Topiramate enhances the risk of valproate-associated side effects in three children. ( Koelfen, W; König, S; Longin, E; Teich, M, 2002)
" Bicuculline increases GABA-induced hypothermia, does not modify DAVA (250 mg/kg) and VPA (100 and 400 mg/kg) hypothermia and antagonizes initial hypothermia by DAVA (1000 mg/kg) and VPA (200 mg/kg) and late hypothermia by DAVA (500 mg/kg) and VPA (200 mg/kg)."3.67Involvement of bicuculline-insensitive receptors in the hypothermic effect of GABA and its agonists.
