Valproic acid and Hypothermia - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Hypothermia is reported as a side effect among people who take Valproic acid (valproic acid), especially for people who are female, 40-49 old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Acetylsalicylic Acid, and have Type 2 diabetes.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Hypothermia when taking Valproic acid. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 35,830 people who have side effects when taking Valproic acid from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
