Guidance
Update information
Minor changes since publication
October 2024: We added links to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Drug Safety Update on valproate use in men and their partners.
August 2024: We have simplified the guideline by removing recommendations on general principles of care that are covered in other NICE guidelines (for example, the NICE guideline on service user experience in adult mental health).
This is a presentational change only, and no changes to practice are intended.
December 2022: We added links to new MHRA safety advice on risks associated with valproate for anyone under 55.
