Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare the blood levels of valproic acid in subjects with different body weights and to evaluate whether the pharmacokinetic parameters of this drug is altered in the obese population
Detailed Description:
Many pharmacologic agents are dosed based on the weight of the patient and studies are conducted to determine the appropriate doses of drugs for patients with different weights in order to find the safest and most effective dose for various weights Valproic acid is a commonly used agent for the treatment of epilepsy as well as migraine headaches and psychiatric disorders This prospective study is designed to evaluate the effects of obesity on the pharmacokinetic parameters of valproic acid when compared to individuals at their healthy weight
