Thirty-eight patients of generalised tonic-clonic seizures of epileptics in the age group of 15-30 years were included in this study. Of these 20 were started sodium valproate afresh and 18 already taking it for more than one year prior to inclusion. Serum amylase and serum valproic acid levels were measured in all of them, initially and at every 3 months interval for 9 months. Though no clinical evidence was present, there was significant increase in serum amylase levels in both the groups which has no correlation with dose or serum valproic acid levels.
