Method: Sixtysix patients were subjected to two interviews, and had their weight and body mass index calculated and compared at both times, interval between six to eight months.

“…Therapy with valproate (VPA) is often associated with weight gain in adults with epilepsy. 1 Although many studies have examined the magnitude of weight gain, [2][3][4][5][6] relatively few have quantified the distribution of fat in patients taking AEDs. 7 Changes in the distribution of body fat have important health implications, specifically the association of increased relative abdominal fat with risk for cardiovascular disease.…”

“…Benzer flekilde KBZ ile yap›lan çal›flmalarda da %15 ile %25 oran›nda kilo art›fl›na neden oldu¤u sonucuna var›lm›flt›r (7)(8)(9). VPA ve KBZ'nin kilo art›r›c› etkileriyle ilgili bir çok teori ileri sürülmüfl olmakla beraber kilo art›r›c› etki mekanizmalar› tam olarak aç›kl›¤a kavufltu-rulamam›flt›r (1,3,(10)(11)(12)(13). Son y›llarda bu konuda yap›lm›fl olan baz› çal›flmalarda KBZ ve VPA tedavisi sonucunda hastalarda kilo art›fl› izlenmedi¤i belirtilmekte ve bu konuda daha ileri çal›fl-malar›n gerekti¤ine dikkat çekilmektedir (14,15).…”
