Removal of valproic acid by plasmapheresis in a patient treated for multiple sclerosis

D E T Bastiaans et al. Ther Drug Monit. 2013 Feb.

Abstract

We present a case of a patient with multiple sclerosis who was treated with plasmapheresis and valproic acid. We used therapeutic drug monitoring to determine whether plasma concentrations of valproic acid were kept within the therapeutic window and to determine the amount of valproic acid that was removed by plasmapheresis.
