Folic acid supplementation — Low serum folate levels in women with epilepsy are independently associated with an increased risk of major fetal malformations [3] . It has not yet been conclusively determined if folic acid supplementation prevents neural tube defects in women receiving AEDs. However, animal studies have shown that valproate and phenytoin decrease the concentration of certain forms of folate and are associated with neural tube defects [4,5] .
Pregnancy is accompanied by many alterations in drug metabolism, including increased liver metabolism, renal clearance, and volume of distribution, and decreased gastrointestinal absorption and plasma protein binding [15,23,24] . As an example, for AEDs that are highly protein bound (eg, phenytoin, valproate), the total plasma drug level may decrease with impaired protein binding, but the physiologically important free or unbound drug concentration may not change. As a result, free drug levels for these AEDs may be more reliable during pregnancy. However, medication dosage should be adjusted if the patient's seizures are not controlled, not because the free or total level has decreased.

The origin of the liver disease associated with hyperemesis gravidarum is unclear. Not all affected patients have liver disease; therefore, the vomiting does not appear to be secondary to the liver involvement. Starvation alone does not seem to be an adequate explanation for the liver dysfunction, particularly in as much as biopsy in affected patients fails to show the fatty infiltration typical of starvation .
