Valproic acid liquid suspensions should be shaken prior to pouring.

Explanation:
Suspensions are not evenly mixed solutions—the solid particles settle to the bottom over time. Shaking re-suspends those particles so every measured dose has the same concentration as labeled. For valproic acid liquid, this means the amount you pour truly reflects the intended dose; without shaking, you could underdose or overdose depending on where you draw from in the bottle. After shaking, use a calibrated dosing device to administer the dose and return to storage as directed. This practice helps ensure consistent, safe, and effective dosing with oral suspensions.
