Depakote and Blood Tests

Posted by SLS on March 3, 2012, at 8:03:27

I very rarely read of people doing this.

It is important to check your liver enzymes BEFORE and AFTER beginning Depakote. Follow up with blood tests every month or so for 6 months. If everything is okay, you can reduce your frequency of blood tests to every 6 months. Platelet counts should be checked at higher dosages. Of course, testing for blood levels of the drug can be helpful to adjust dosage.
