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.
