Mysoline/Primidone is a medicine that is typically used in the treatment of seizures. Even though the mechanism of the drug is not known precisely, the scientists think that it modifies the chemical impulses in the brain that provoke the convulsions.

Skipped Doses and Overdose

People may forget once in a while to take their medication from various reasons. When this happens, they are recommended to take the skipped dose as soon as they remember, unless the time for the next dose is near. In this situation, only one dose must be taken, in order to avoid overdose. The signs of overdose include dizziness, disorientation, nausea, blurred vision, vomiting and rapid eye movements.

Adverse Reactions of the Mysoline/Primidone Treatment

Some of the patients who have taken Mysoline/Primidone reported that they had adverse reactions which included rash, fever, and in some cases even more severe convulsions. An allergic reaction, which is characterized by symptoms such as breathlessness, stuck throat, swelling of tongue, face, or lips and hives, can be experienced. The less severe adverse reactions are more frequent. These include dizziness, drowsiness, poor coordination, double and/or blurred vision, nausea and vomiting. The side effects may differ from one patient to another. This is why the opinion of a specialist is required. When any of the adverse reactions that have been mentioned above are experienced, people must look for emergency medical care at once.

Interactions with Other Drugs

Mysoline/Primidone may interact with other drugs. This is why it is very important to inform the health care provider about any other medicines people take. As it has been observed, Mysoline/Primidone interacts most frequently with antiepileptic drugs such as acetazolamide, carbamazepine, ethosuximide and methsuximide. All these drugs make Mysoline/Primidone less efficient. In this situation, the patients require the dosage to be increased. On the other hand, medicines such as phenytoin, ethotoin, mephenytoin and isoniazid, will amplify the amount of Mysoline/Primidone found in the blood. The doctor has to adjust the dosage in this situation, too. Mysoline can also influence the blood levels of other drugs, such as Carbamazepine. In this situation, the blood levels of the latter medicine increase considerably. Adjusting the Carbamazepine dosage resolves the problem in the majority of the cases.
