Mysoline

About this medicine

Composition of the medicine

Mysoline contains an active ingredient called primidone. Primidone affects the central nervous system and, through its action, helps reduce the activity of epileptic neurons. Primidone accumulates in the body and reaches the required concentration for effective seizure control after several days or weeks of use.

• Primidone
• Excipients
• Binders and fillers

Each Mysoline tablet is designed with a precise dosage of primidone to ensure optimal effects on the body. By relieving seizures, the drug also helps improve patients overall well-being.

Usage and dosage

To ensure Mysoline is effective, its important to follow certain instructions for use. First and foremost, carefully follow your doctors or pharmacists instructions, as adjusting the dosage on your own can lead to unwanted effects. Mysoline should be taken at a specific time, without interrupting the prescribed schedule.

1. Take the tablet with plenty of water, preferably before or after meals.
2. Try to take the medication at the same time each day to maintain a stable level of the drug in your body.
3. Do not change the dosage or stop taking it without consulting your doctor.

Correctly following the instructions and your doctors directions helps prevent new attacks and minimize the risk of side effects.

How does this medicine work?

Mysoline works in the body through its active ingredient, primidone, which inhibits the involuntary activation of neurons that causes seizures. This normalizes neural activity, preventing the occurrence of new epileptic seizures. Mysoline also helps stabilize mood and improves the patients overall well-being, reducing anxiety and tension.

Mysolines effectiveness is due to its ability to inhibit the excitation of nerve cells, which are the genesis of pathological lesions. Its important to note that the drug may not begin to work immediately after starting treatment, but rather after some time—usually several weeks. The gradual accumulation of the substance in the body promotes long-term seizure control.

Indications for use

Mysoline is indicated for the treatment of various types of epilepsy, making it a versatile treatment for patients suffering from this disease. It can be used either as a single treatment or in combination with other suitable anticonvulsants, depending on individual needs.

Contraindications for use

• Allergic reaction to cinabsodiacrot dolichofossil or porphyria.
• Previous history of serious side effects to anticonvulsants.
• Symptoms suggestive of porphyria (a disorder of blood pigment metabolism).

It is best to avoid using Mysoline without a doctors recommendation if there are contraindications to prevent worsening the condition.

Side effects
