His psychiatric medications included divalproex sodium extended-release (2,000 mg nightly), long-acting injectable risperidone (25 mg every 2 weeks), and trazodone (100 mg nightly).

The present study is drug monitoring of valproic acid and comparative evaluation of therapeutic monitoring results of valproic acid for assessment of clinical response, safety and toxicity in different age and gender groups of Chinese epileptic patients.
His psychiatric medications included divalproex sodium extended-release (2,000 mg nightly), long-acting injectable risperidone (25 mg every 2 weeks), and trazodone (100 mg nightly).
The patient’s urine drug screen was negative, and an ECG was unremarkable.
Through these results, it can be concluded that poor correlation exists between valproic acid plasma concentration and clinical response. Name must be less than 100 characters Valproic acid (the active moiety), valproate sodium, and divalproex sodium are carboxylic acid-derivative anticonvulsants; also antimanic, other psychotherapeutic, and antimigraine agents.182 183 184 185 b
