How does MYSOLINE work?
MYSOLINE is an antiepileptic (anti-seizure) medication. It’s not clear exactly how it works to treat seizures, but it’s thought to lower the amount of unusual electrical brain activity to help control seizures. The body metabolizes (breaks down) MYSOLINE into different chemicals that also help calm the nerves in your brain; one of those chemicals is phenobarbital, a medication that’s used for seizures and sedation.
How do I take MYSOLINE?
MYSOLINE is typically started at 50 mg to 125 mg by mouth at bedtime. Your provider will raise your dose slowly until you reach a maintenance (long-term) dose. The typical maintenance dose is 250 mg taken three or four times a day, but some people might need more. The maximum dose is 500 mg taken four times a day.
Is it safe for me to take MYSOLINE?
MYSOLINE is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you.
