Efficacy and serum drug concentration of sustained release sodium valproate in treatment of childhood epilepsy

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and serum drug levels in steady state of sustained-release sodium valproate (VPA-Na·SR) in treatment of childhood epilepsies. METHODS: Thirty children (M 22, F 8; 8.2±s 2.4 a) with a variety of epilepsies were treated with VPA-Na·SR 23.8±2.9 mg/(kg·d), po, qn. The serum valproic acid (VPA) concentration was determined by TDx. Blood samples were taken at 12 h and 24 h(prior to the next dosing) after the evening dose on d 10 of therapy. The following-up period was 11±3 mo. RESULTS: In steady state, the serum VPA level of 12 h and 24 h after drug-dosing was 105±16 mg/L and 68±13 mg/L, respectively. The FI was 0.41. The controlled rate of seizures was 77%, excellent response rate was 20%. No significant adverse effect was seen. CONCLUSION: VPA-Na·SR is an effective drug for the treatment childhood epilepsy.
