Dosing
Dosing depends on which disease is being treated and whether valproic acid is being treated for maintenance or acute application. For maintenance of bipolar disorder type 1 the dose range can be tested through blood serum testing or by mg per kilogram of weight: minimum of 250 mg a day of Depakine up to 3000 mg a day. For acute treatment of bipolar type 1 the minimum dose would be 1000 mg a day.
