The combination of both drugs is not indicated. Their combination leads to an increase in the concentration of valproic acid - an ingredient of Depakine Chrono - in the blood, and at the same time increases the risk of seizures.
Therefore, at every doctor's visit, you should mention to your doctor what medications you are taking on a regular basis. This gives the doctor a more complete picture of the situation and reduces the risk of drug interactions, as in this case.
I encourage you to contact your doctor. Please mention that your son is being treated with Depakine Chrono. Your doctor will then decide to change the antibiotic to a different one.
If you are unable to contact your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
