Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.
TAKE CONTROL TODAYMysoline is metabolized in the liver to phenobarbital and another active compound, phenylethylmalonamide. It is metabolized by the hepatic P450 system. Mysoline is ~70-80% protein-bound.
Mysoline is rapidly and nearly completely absorbed following oral administration. Peak serum concentrations are reached in approximately 3 hours. When taken as monotherapy, the half-life of Mysoline is approximately 12 hours. When taken in combination with hepatic enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs, the half-life of Mysoline is reduced by nearly 50%.
