Valproic acid is indicated for generalized seizures.

• A. Generalized seizures
• B. Absence seizures
• C. Partial seizures
• D. None of the above

Answer: (A)

Valproic acid is a broad‑spectrum anticonvulsant, effective across several generalized seizure types. Generalized seizures include absence, generalized tonic-clonic, and myoclonic seizures, and valproate has proven efficacy for these, making it a suitable option for generalized seizure disorders overall. It’s less effective for focal (partial) seizures, which is why the broader generalized category is the best fit. While it can treat absence seizures, naming the broader category captures its wide applicability to generalized seizure types, which is why that choice is the most accurate.
