Apart from its most common side effects and its teratogenic properties, its haematological side effect needs careful monitoring and evaluation. Acquired platelet function defects have been found and attributed to this drug,and there have been reports of haemorrhages, prolonged bleeding time and thrombocytopenia in patients on sodium valproate with other anticonvulsant drugs .Thrombocytopenia has been reported in 6–33% of adults receiving valproic acid.
