N1 - We evaluated whether prepubertal children treated with valproic acid did not gain excessive weight. This retrospective study of children with epilepsy, aged <12 years at enrollment, examined weight gain associated with valproic acid or carbamazepine monotherapy. There was no significant difference between the valproic acid (n = 31) and carbamazepine (n = 49) treated groups in average duration of therapy or mean age.
