Sodium valproate is an anti-epileptic medicine that calms electrical activity in the brain. It is also used as a mood stabiliser.
Valproate can seriously harm an unborn baby, so women and girls who could become pregnant must only use it under a specialist's pregnancy prevention plan. It can rarely affect the liver and pancreas; seek help for severe stomach pain, vomiting or yellow skin. Never stop it suddenly.
