BACKGROUND: Valproate is associated with teratogenic and neurodevelopmental
effects. Several agencies have restricted the conditions of its prescription in
bipolar disorders (BD). We aimed to assess the evolution of valproate
prescription and the clinical profile of BD women of childbearing age receiving
valproate.
METHODS: Based on a large national cohort, we included all BD women 16-50 years
old. Sociodemographic, clinical and pharmacological data were recorded. Logistic
regression analyses were used to describe variables associated with valproate
prescription.
RESULTS: Of the 1018 included women 16-50 years old, 26.9% were treated with
valproate with a mean daily dosage of 968 mg. The prevalence of BD women using
valproate was 32.6% before May 2015 and 17.3% after May 2015 (p
