What do you do if the patient lab depakote level is 35?

If a patient's Depakote (valproate) level is 35 mcg/mL, it is important to assess the patient's clinical symptoms and overall status, as this level is above the typical therapeutic range (50-100 mcg/mL). Evaluate for signs of toxicity, such as sedation, dizziness, or gastrointestinal disturbances. Depending on the patient's condition, consider adjusting the dose, temporarily holding the medication, or providing supportive care. Consultation with a healthcare provider or a specialist may also be necessary for further management.
