What is Apo-Primidone?
Apo-Primidone containing the active ingredient primidone is considered an anti-epileptic drug also known as barbiturate anticonvulsant type of medication. The medication works by decreasing the abnormal electrical activity in the brain that occurs during seizures. It can be used alone or with other medications to control seizures and lessen the risk of harm when you lose consciousness.

How is Apo-Primidone used?
Apo-Primidone is usually taken orally 2 to 4 times per day or as directed by a doctor. To prevent an upset stomach, the tablets should be taken with a meal along with plenty of water. Take the medication at the same time each day as it works best when the drug is kept at a constant level in the body. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage as it will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the medication. Do not discontinue the medication without consulting a doctor, even if you feel fine, as abruptly stopping the medication may lead to an increase in seizures.

Adverse effects
Patients taking Apo-Primidone may encounter unwanted side effects such as:

  • Dizziness
  • Drowsiness
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Loss of appetite

Contact a doctor immediately should side effects persist or encounter more severe side effects such as:

  • Decreased sex drive or performance

Warnings
The medication can be used as a treatment for seizures but cannot be used to cure the conditions.

Immediately proceed to your nearest emergency department if you suffer an allergic reaction. Symptoms usually associated with such a reaction include difficulty breathing or swallowing, chest tightness, swelling, skin rashes, and hives.

Apo-Primidone is not always suitable for all patients. Always consult your health care provider prior to using this medication if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to conceive, using any other medication (prescription or non-prescription), using any herbal products or supplements, or if you have any allergies or other health problems.
