Valproic Acid Test

Experiencing symptoms such as unusual fatigue, nausea, confusion, tremors, or breakthrough seizures? These may be related to valproic acid levels in the body. The Valproic Acid Test measures the concentration of this medication in the blood to ensure it remains within the therapeutic range.

Valproic acid is widely prescribed for managing epilepsy, seizures, and bipolar disorder, but monitoring levels is essential. If the amount in the bloodstream is too low, seizures or mood episodes may not be controlled. If too high, it can cause medication toxicity, with symptoms such as drowsiness, dizziness, vomiting, or liver problems.

Regular monitoring through the Valproic Acid Test helps healthcare providers fine-tune treatment, ensuring both effectiveness and safety. This test plays a critical role in managing long-term conditions, supporting overall health and quality of life.
