Therefore, healthcare providers who elect to use Depakote ER for extended periods should continually reevaluate the long-term risk-benefits of the drug for the individual patient. Monitoring: -General: Patients receiving doses near the maximum recommended daily dose should be monitored more closely. - Hematologic: Platelet counts -Hepatic: Liver function tests -Nervous system: Seizures -Psychiatric: Emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, and/or unusual changes in mood or behavior. General Population: Hepatic failure resulting in fatalities has occurred in patients receiving valproate and its derivatives. These incidents usually have occurred during the first six months of treatment. Serious or fatal hepatotoxicity may be preceded by non-specific symptoms such as malaise, weakness, lethargy, facial edema, anorexia, and vomiting. In patients with epilepsy, a loss of seizure control may also occur. Patients should be monitored closely for appearance of these symptoms. Serum liver tests should be performed prior to therapy and at frequent intervals thereafter, especially during the first six months [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. In the United States, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine felt there was not enough data on vitamin B5 deficiency diseases to set a "recommended daily intake" of the vitamin so they instead set an "adequate intake" for good health. They estimated adequate intake of B5 as follows: Vitamin B5 is found in most foods, so deficiency is rare. It's also not easy to list "juicables" to get more B5 as the types of plant produce its found in don't juice particularly well sunflower seeds, advocado, black-eye beans, brown rice, sun dried tomatoes, caschew nutes etc. Dr. Lit-Hung Leung published a study in the journal Medical Hypotheses that he had recruited 100 residents of Hong Kong aged 10 to 30 who had acne. He persuaded them to participate in an experiment involving the internal and external use of vitamin B5 to treat acne. They were instructed to take 10,000 mg of B5 a day plus to treat their faces with a 20% vitamin B5 cream six times a day. Without mentioning how many blemishes were treated or whether there were any side effects, Dr. Leung reported that "liberal" use of vitamin B5 might be the answer. Comments: - The IV formulation should be administered as a 60-minute infusion (but not more than 20 mg/min) with the same frequency as the oral products, although plasma concentration monitoring and dosage adjustments may be necessary. -Use of the IV formulation for periods longer than 14 days has not been studied. -Patients on the IV formulation should be switched to the oral formulation as soon as it is clinically feasible. Vitamin C seems to help the body conserve vitamin B5. In laboratory experiments, giving animals the equivalent of 2000 mg of C every day helped relieve symptoms of vitamin B5 deficiency without giving the animals any additional B5. It's possible than vitamin C deficiency could aggravate the symptoms of vitamin B5 deficiency. MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASE: -There is an increased risk of drug-induced acute liver failure and death in patients with hereditary neurometabolic syndromes caused by DNA mutations of the mitochondrial DNA Polymerase gamma (POLG) gene (e.g., Alpers Huttenlocher Syndrome). This drug is contraindicated in patients known to have mitochondrial disorders caused by POLG mutations and TEENren under 2 years of age who are clinically suspected of having a mitochondrial disorder. -This drug should only be used in patients over 2 years of age who are clinically suspected of having a hereditary mitochondrial disease after other anticonvulsants have failed. These patients should be closely monitored during treatment for the development of acute liver injury with regular clinical assessments and serum liver testing. POLG mutation screening should be performed in accordance with current clinical practice. Taking probiotics (friendly bacteria) maintains healthy bacterial flora, which in turn, reduces yeast overgrowth, and lowers

2 the ph level of the large intestine, making it far more acidic. This is a place where being acidic is good. When the large intestine has a high level of acidity, the ammonia produced by intestinal bacteria remains in an ionized form. In this form, it is easily dissipated from the body, without entering into general circulation through the blood, and burdening the TEENneys, liver and brain. Hemodialysis: Hemodialysis reduces valproate concentrations by about 20%; no adjustment recommended. Peritoneal dialysis: Data not available. Depakote ER is indicated for prophylaxis of migraine headaches in adults. Valproic acid, the anti-seizure medication that is sold under the trade names Depakote and Depakene in North America, depletes coenzyme A in nerve tissue. Restoring coenzyme A in the nerves may require both supplemental vitamin B5 and supplemental L-carnitine. It should be noted that taking NAC is more efficient at raising glutathione levels than taking actual glutathione, in supplement form. Vitamin C is also a potent elevator of glutathione production, with 500mg being sufficient to create this response. Other supplements that can effectively raise glutathione levels include Milk Thistle Extract, Alpha Lipoic Acid, L-Glutamine and Whey protein. The highest food sources of sulfur compounds include members of the cruciferous vegetable family (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, etc), as well as eggs, soy, legumes, garlic and onions. This dosage of vitamin B5 is enough to cause side effects in some people. There is no other evidence that the treatment works for acne or that it works for acne who do not have Asian skin types. It's probably OK to try to treat acne with vitamin B5, since there are no reported side effects. Creams made with the form of B5 called dexpanthenol may relieve dryness and itching caused by Accutane. In a study of adjunctive therapy for complex partial seizures in which patients were receiving either carbamazepine or phenytoin in addition to valproate, no adjustment of carbamazepine or phenytoin dosage was needed [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ]. However, since valproate may interact with these or other concurrently administered AEDs as well as other drugs, periodic plasma concentration determinations of concomitant AEDs are recommended during the early course of therapy [see Drug Interactions (7) ]. Vitamin enriched cereals and shiitake mushrooms are outstanding sources of vitamin B5, but just about any food, even fast food and junk food, contains some B5. You will also get more vitamin B5 from dried or roasted vegetables and less from boiled vegetables, and you will always get more vitamin B5 from fresh food rather than frozen food. However, many mass produced foods contain 10 to 30 times more B5 than their home made counterparts, due to fortification at the factory. The second step of the body's process of transforming vitamin B5 into enzymes requires the amino acid cysteine. The body uses this amino acid to make an intermediate chemical known as 4'-phosphopantothenoyl cysteine. Without this amino acid, the products of the first step just accumulate without ever being used to make essential enzymes. Later steps in the processes that the body uses B5 to make enzymes also require magnesium or cysteine. Depakote ER is an extended-release product intended for once-a-day oral administration. Depakote ER tablets should be swallowed whole and should not be crushed or chewed. Removal of ammonia begins with the liver, therefore keeping the liver healthy and well functioning will clearly help to improve ammonia removal. Since a major medical indicator of liver failure is high levels of ammonia in the bloodstream, it follows that detoxifying the liver may well be the best way to remove ammonia from the body. Eating celery or drinking celery juice daily will help TEENney function, and also electrolyte balance. Celery also works to removes excess uric acid from the blood, a further aid to TEENney function.

To determine the concentration of valproic acid in your blood and to maintain a therapeutic level. It's not hard to get all the vitamin B5 you need from food if you eat the recommended 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Here are just some of the possibilities: Vitamin B5 is used to make coenzyme A which is required in the building up of fats and ultimately used to make various hormones, coenzyme Q and vitamin D. A valproic acid test is ordered when someone begins valproic acid treatment as well as if and when their medications change (other drugs are started, stopped, or changed). Once a stable blood concentration in the therapeutic range has been achieved, the valproic acid level may then be monitored at regular intervals to ensure that it remains within this range. A 3-1/2 oz/100 gram serving of liver sausage/liver wurst/liver cheese provides 3 to 4 mg of B5. Tests: Carbamazepine; Lamotrigine; Phenytoin; Phenobarbital; Therapeutic Drug Monitoring; Emergency and Overdose Drug Testing. One or more valproic acid tests may be ordered when someone starts or stops taking additional medications to judge their effect, if any, on the valproic acid level and may be ordered if the person has a recurrence of symptoms, such as a seizure, a migraine, or bipolar mood swings. Health practitioners will also evaluate their patients for side effects and adverse reactions during initial dosage adjustments and over time. Some other kinds of vitamin deficiency can cause vitamin B5 deficiency. There are several different chemicals identified as vitamin B5. The form of vitamin B5 that is active in living organisms is D- pantothenic acid. It's the only form of vitamin B5 that actually serves any function in living cells. Because vitamin B5 is in nearly all foods, it is very rare for anyone to suffer a vitamin B5 deficiency. Most of what scientists know about vitamin B5 was observed during World War II. Allied prisoners held in Burma, the Philippines, and Japan were severely malnourished. Among survivors, many suffered alternating numbness and painful burning in the feet. Giving the liberated troops vitamin B5 helped relieve this symptom. is sometimes treated with vitamin B5 supplements, but the single clinical trial in the medical literature invites extreme skepticism. If you do not have your lab report, consult your healthcare provider or the laboratory that performed the test(s) to obtain the reference range. (2004 April, Revision).

Vitamin B5 is used to make coenzyme A which is needed for hormones and other substances. Suzanne Bentley. Valproic Acid Level. Medscape. Available online at through. A 3-1/2 oz/100 gram serving of dried shiitake mushrooms provides 22 mg of B5. The use of valproic acid during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of several birth defects, especially neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Women of TEEN-bearing age should talk to their health practitioner about this. What Does Vitamin B5 Do in the Body?. Coenzyme A is essential for connecting small fat molecules to make large fat molecules. Most of the body's hormones begin as cholesterol. Coenzyme A helps transform cholesterol into all kinds of hormones. The body also uses it to make ubiquinone (also known as coenzyme Q10) and vitamin D. If you don't have enough vitamin B5, your body can't make enough Co-Q10 or vitamin D. Every cell in the human body uses coenzyme A to make complex lipids, such as the phosphatidylcholine that in every cell membrane and the ceramide that makes up most of the water-resistant layers of the skin. A 3-1/2 oz/100 gram serving of sunflower seeds provides 7 mg of B5. Scientists have known how

4 to make synthetic D-pantothenic acid since 1940, but it is a very unstable chemical that is easily degraded by exposure to light, heat, or acids. To stabilize D-pantothenic acid so it won't break down in a supplement as it is being stored, most manufacturers chemically combine it with calcium to make calcium pantothenate. The pantothenate part of the molecule is much more complex than the calcium to which it is attached. About 92% of calcium pantothenate is easily reduced to D-panthothenic acid that the body can readily use. Gentamicin and streptomycin antibiotics sometimes damage the "hairs" lining the inner ear. This can cause hearing loss, dizziness, and vomiting. In some cases vitamin B5 supplements prevent this side effect. Valproic acid, the anti-seizure medication that is sold under the trade names Depakote and Depakene in North America, depletes coenzyme A in nerve tissue. Restoring coenzyme A in the nerves may require both supplemental vitamin B5 and supplemental L-carnitine. Narayanaswamy, Sudha (2005 August, Updated). Depakote (vivalproex sodium) - Valproic Acid.

Depakote ER is indicated for prophylaxis of migraine headaches in adults. A 3-1/2 oz/100 gram serving of Pacific salmon filets provides 3 mg of B5. A Medication Guide describing the risks of valproate is available for patients [see Patient Counseling Information (17) ]. My point here is that, if we suspect that we have ammonia in our water supply, perhaps we can use the same system to check our water as fish owners do. Any aquarium shop will sell ammonia test kits, and it is recommended that for most freshwater fish, the ammonia level should not exceed 2 ppm (parts per million). According to the World Health Organization, ammonia levels in water of 0.1 to 1.0 ppm are typically found in most surface water supplies, and are safe for human consumption. So, if we detect levels much higher than this we know we have a problem.

A 3-1/2 oz/100 gram serving of Pacific salmon filets provides 3 mg of B5. It may be taken as a tablet, slow release tablet, a liquid, or sprinkled on a soft food. It is generally taken with food to minimize stomach upset, and it is important that the solid forms be swallowed, not chewed, to avoid mouth and throat irritation. It's highly unlikely that you will suffer a deficiency of vitamin B5 severe enough to cause any of the symptoms listed above. Many people, however, get less than enough vitamin B5 for optimum health. People on ad libitum (eat what you want) diets in nursing homes often don't get enough B5, as do some people who live in inner cities who get most of their calories from hot dogs, chips, and sodas.

6 set an "adequate intake" for good health. They estimated adequate intake of B5 as follows: Animals also have been used in vitamin deprivation experiments. Chickens fed diets that contained no B5 developed abnormalities in their feathers and spinal nerve damage because of the depletion of the myelin sheath that protects the spinal cord. Rats fed diets deficient in B5 developed damage to the adrenal glands, while dogs became hypoglycemic and had seizures. Monkeys given diets deficient in B5 developed anemia. These experiments were thought to be necessary during World War II to be able to treat human beings as they were released from concentration camps. German and Japanese scientists reportedly also conducted vitamin deprivation experiments without any kind of ethical controls but scientists in other parts of the world refused to refer to them. After the liver has detoxified the ammonia, by turning it into urea, the TEENneys are the next step in filtration before it is removed via the urine. There are several different chemicals identified as vitamin B5. The form of vitamin B5 that is active in living organisms is D- pantothenic acid.

Vitamin B5 is used to make coenzyme A which is required in the building up of fats and ultimately used to make various hormones, coenzyme Q and vitamin D. We comply with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information - verify here. There is a medical test for high ammonia, which involves taking a blood sample from either a vein or an artery. The medical profession uses the ammonia test to help investigate the cause of changes in behavior and consciousness, to help diagnose the cause of a coma or of Reye's syndrome, or to diagnose various liver or TEENney diseases. However, this test will only determine if levels are severely high, not if levels are problematic, but not life-threatening. Another problem with this test is that brain levels of ammonia may swallowing, confusion, fatigue, vomiting, drop in body temperature, and weakness in the joints. There are also certain medications that interfere with getting enough vitamin B5. The valproic acid level in the blood must be maintained within a narrow therapeutic range. If the level is too low, someone may experience a recurrence of symptoms, but, if the level is too high, someone may experience an increase in the number and severity of symptoms and side effects. The balance is often difficult to achieve because the drug is metabolized by the liver and is processed at a rate that varies from person to person and is affected by age and liver health.
