valproic acid and Ischemic Stroke

valproic acid has been researched along with Ischemic Stroke in 3 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.

Ischemic Stroke: Stroke due to BRAIN ISCHEMIA resulting in interruption or reduction of blood flow to a part of the brain. When obstruction is due to a BLOOD CLOT formed within in a cerebral blood vessel it is a thrombotic stroke. When obstruction is formed elsewhere and moved to block a cerebral blood vessel (see CEREBRAL EMBOLISM) it is referred to as embolic stroke. Wake-up stroke refers to ischemic stroke occurring during sleep while cryptogenic stroke refers to ischemic stroke of unknown origin.

"In this propensity score-weighted population-based retrospective cohort study, we used competing risk regression analyses to determine the risks of ischemic stroke, venous thromboembolism, and death in DOAC recipients taking CYP/P-gp-modulating antiseizure medications (phenytoin, valproate, levetiracetam, carbamazepine, or phenobarbital) versus those taking CYP/P-gp-neutral antiseizure medications (pregabalin, gabapentin, or clobazam)."4.12Thromboembolic Risks with Concurrent Direct Oral Anticoagulants and Antiseizure Medications: A Population-Based Analysis.
