Valproato de sódio: efeitos colaterais em crianças

Abstract: OBJETIVO: O valproato de sódio é um fármaco anticonvulsivante usado com frequência no manejo dos quadros epilépticos refratários na infância e habitualmente apresenta boas taxas de resposta e toxicidade aceitável. O objetivo deste artigo é destacar os efeitos colaterais secundários ao uso prolongado de valproato de sódio em uma criança e alertar para a importância do acompanhamento dos pacientes em uso crônico de anticonvulsivantes.

“…Furthermore, Azithromycin, in addition to its QTc interval-prolonging property, can also cause acute and transient increases in hepatic aminotransferase (aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT)) in 1-2% of cases, as well as there is an increase in about 8%-37% of cases in patients with Covid-19 [14]. Therefore, it should be used with caution in patients using Valproate (a drug often used as a mood stabilizer and affective controller), with regular monitoring of liver function tests, given that Valproate is also related to increased liver toxicity severe, regardless of the time of use [15][16][17][18]. In addition, the concomitant use of Azithromycin and Hydroxychloroquine with some antiepileptic drugs (eg, Lacosamide, phenobarbital, Primidone Rufinamide, Phenytoin, and Carbamazepine) increases the risk of cardiac conduction abnormalities (eg, AV block) and QT interval prolongation/PR [7].…”
