What the FDA labels say about taking them together

Probenecid/sulopenem etzadroxil and valproic acid

Probenecid/sulopenem etzadroxil's FDA label of December 6, 2025 names valproic acid in its drug interactions section; the valproic acid label PlainMeds reads does not name probenecid/sulopenem etzadroxil. The probenecid/sulopenem etzadroxil label: “Valproic Acid No valproic acid dosage adjustment is recommended when used concomitantly with ORLYNVAH.”
