This medicine contains the anticonvulsant (anti-epileptic), primidone.

• Mysoline is used to treat some types of epilepsy and seizures.
  
  
• Mysoline may be used alone, but sometimes it may need to be combined with other anticonvulsants to provide sufficient control of the seizures.

• Mysoline belongs to a group of medicines called anticonvulsants.
  
  
• Mysoline acts by controlling nerve impulses in the brain and thereby preventing the “electrical storm” in the brain, known as a seizure or convulsion
  

• It is supplied as tablets or a white liquid, both taken by mouth.
  
  
• It is very important not to stop taking anticonvulsants without consulting your doctor, even if you are no longer having fits.
  
  
• This is because you may develop a condition called status epilepticus, in which you have one fit immediately after another.
