The concomitant use of ertapenem and valproic acid/sodium valproate is not recommended (see section 4.5).


4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction Decreases in valproic acid levels that may fall below the therapeutic range have been reported when valproic acid was co-administered with carbapenem agents. The lowered valproic acid levels can lead to inadequate seizure control; therefore, concomitant use of ertapenem and valproic acid/sodium valproate is not recommended and alternative antibacterial or anti-convulsant therapies should be considered.
