Sodium Valproate has been part of my life for as long as I have had epilepsy, it was the first drug I was put on as a child and it worked for me and was again reintroduced to me at 21. So it has been a strange few weeks seeing it all over the news and I feel like it is time I spoke up. Today (Tuesday 26th September 2017) the European Medicines Agency (EMA) held a public hearing as part of its safety review on the use of valproate-containing medicines in women who are pregnant or of childbearing age. This is the first time a public hearing has been held during an EMA safety review.
