Effects of Mysoline on other drugs
Because Mysoline accelerates hepatic metabolism, it will increase the clearance of:

  • oral contraceptives
  • valproate
  • phenytoin
  • phenobarbital
  • carbamazepine
  • topiramate
  • lamotrigine
  • tiagabine
  • theophylline
  • warfarin
  • steroids

Effects of other drugs on Mysoline
Valproate will increase the serum concentration of phenobarbital, one of the metabolites of Mysoline, by inhibiting its hepatic metabolism.

On the other hand, drugs that accelerate hepatic metabolism will lower serum concentrations of Mysoline. These include:

  • phenytoin
  • carbamazepine
  • oxcarbazepine
  • phenobarbital
  • felbamate
