WHAT MYSOLINE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Mysoline contains primidone as the active ingredient; this belongs to
a group
of medicines used to treat seizures.
Mysoline is used for the treatment of certain types of epilepsy,
seizures (fits)
or shaking attacks (essential tremor).
BEFORE YOU USE MYSOLINE

*
are allergic (hypersensitive) to primidone, a substance called
phenobarbitone, or to any of the other ingredients of Mysoline (these
are
listed in Section 6: Further information).
*
have porphyria (a rare inherited disorder of metabolism) or anyone in
your
family has it.
TAKE SPECIAL CARE WITH MYSOLINE IF YOU:
*
have ever had problems with your breathing, kidneys or liver.
*
are pregnant or are trying to become pregnant (see beneath for further
information)
If you go into hospital, tell the medical staff that you are taking
Mysoline.
A small number of people being treated with anti-epileptics such as
mysoline have had thoughts of harming or killing themselves. If at any
time
you have these thoughts, immediately contact your doctor.
TAKING OTHER MEDICINES
Please tell your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any
other
