Are there any risks for birth defects if the father takes depakote?
Sperm abnormalities are documented with Depakote. Some Anti-Epileptic Drugs (AEDs) are associated with sperm abnormalities, including low semen volume, low sperm count and abnormal sperm motility. The following AEDs have been linked to sperm abnormalities: carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine and valproate (Depakote). I am not aware of congenital malformations caused by a Father utilizing Depakote.When taken by the Mother, Valproate can cause major congenital malformations, particularly neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida). ​Depakote can cause decreased IQ scores following in utero exposure. As a general rule, Depakote is contraindicated in pregnant women unless benefit exceeds risk considering alternative treatment failures.Dr. B., Clinical Pharmacist
