  • April 2018: Footnotes and cautions have been added and amended to link to the MHRA's latest advice and resources on sodium valproate. Sodium valproate must not be used in pregnancy, and only used in girls and women when there is no alternative and a pregnancy prevention plan is in place. This is because of the risk of malformations and developmental abnormalities in the baby. November 2017: Footnotes for some recommendations were updated with current UK marketing authorisations and MHRA advice. Links to other guidelines have also been updated. Some research recommendations have been stood down. See these changes in the short version of the guideline.
