Wang Xia, Huang Jianquan. Clinical Analysis and Literature Review of Effects of Carbapenems Antibiotics on Blood Concentration of Sodium Valproate in Children[J]. 2020,26(11):35-38. DOI: 10.13407/j.cnki.jpp.1672-108X.2020.11.011.
Objective: To probe into the interaction characteristics of carbapenem antibiotics and sodium valproate in children. Methods: Based on the case of a child with epilepsy whose blood drug concentration of valproate was decreased due to the application of meropenem after surgery
CNKI and PubMed were retrieved
and literature related to the interaction between carbapenem and valproate in children was retrospectively analyzed. Results: Related literature indicated that the blood concentration of valproate decreased significantly after the use of meropenem in children taking valproate. Conclusion: The drug combination of carbapenem and sodium valproate is not recommended at home and abroad
but in clinical practice
the use of both still occurs. Pediatric clinical pharmacists need to strengthen pharmaceutical care
improve the clinical awareness of interaction between carbapenem and sodium valproate
formulate the countermeasures to promote the rational drug use.
