[On the enteral absorption of valproic acid (author's transl)].
The absorption of valproic acid (dipropylacetic acid, DPA)--administered by capsules (free valproic acid) and dragees (valproate sodium)--has been studied. Regarding their bioavailability, both forms of administration examined are equivalent, which means that they are representing therapeutical alternatives.
