Drug interaction | Valproate inhibits the metabolism of the drugs with which it interacts |
Epilepsy and pregnancy | Valproate and phenytoin cause birth defects and both can reduce folate levels |
Carbamazepine | seizures, trigeminal neuralgia (pain on one or both side of face), bipolar disease |
Epilepsy and pregnancy | Valproate and phenytoin cause birth defects and both can reduce folate levels |
Carbamazepine | seizures, trigeminal neuralgia (pain on one or both side of face), bipolar disease |

Ethosuximide | first choice in treatment of absence seizure in children, not for adults (valproate instead) |
Ethosuximide | valproate inhibits metabolism and increase serum levels, effect is altered by Haloperidol |
gabapentin | GABA analogue, increase the release of GABA from central neurons, absorption from the gut is inversely related to the dose |
gabapentin | treat all forms of partial seizures |
gabapentin s/e | ataxia, dizziness, drowsiness, nystagmus, tremor |
