I am taking valproic acid for fits. Will Nextop interfere with the working of valproic acid? Can this combination be taken?
Nextop does not interfere with the working of valproic acid, but it increases the risk of getting excess levels of ammonia in blood (hyperammonemia). Increased levels of ammonia in blood can be dangerous and may cause difficulty in thinking, remembering information or solving problems. It may also decrease your alertness and make you feel very sleepy with low energy. Immediately inform your doctor if you notice these symptoms. It is important to know that, in rare cases, Nextop alone can cause hyperammonemia.
